There’s a wideness in God’s mercy
Author: Frederick William Faber, 1814-63 Hymnal: Together in Song #136 (1999) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Scripture: Matthew 23:4 Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy
like the wideness of the sea,
and forgiveness in his justice
sealed for us on Calvary.
2 There is plentiful redemption
in the blood that has been shed;
there is joy for all the members
in the sorrows of the Head.
3 For the love of God is broader
than the measures of our mind;
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind.
4 But we make his love too narrow
by false limits of our own,
and we magnify his strictness
with a zeal he would not own.
5 If our love were but more simple
we should take him at his word;
and our lives would be illumined
by the goodness of our Lord. Topics: God's Love to Us; Mercy of God; People of God; Providence; Redemption; Response to Word; Saints Days and Holy Days St Mary Magdalene; Saints Days and Holy Days St Paul Languages: English Tune Title: CROSS OF JESUS

At the Name of Jesus
Author: Caroline Maria Noel, 1817-1877 Hymnal: Journeysongs (3rd ed.) #465 (2012) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Scripture: Matthew 23:12 Lyrics: 1 At the Name of Jesus
Every knee shall bow,
Ev'ry tongue confess him
King of glory now;
'Tis the Father's pleasure
We should call him Lord,
Who from the beginning
Was the mighty Word.
2 Humbled for a season,
To receive a Name
From the lips of sinners,
Unto whom he came,
Faithfully he bore it
Spotless to the last,
Brought it back victorious,
When through death he passed.
3 Bore it up triumphant,
With its human light,
Through all ranks of creatures,
To the central height,
To the throne of Godhead,
To the Father's breast;
Filled it with the glory
Of that perfect rest.
4 In your hearts enthrone him;
There let him subdue
All that is not holy,
All that is not true:
Crown him as your Captain
In temptation's hour;
Let his will enfold you
In its light and power.
5 Jesus, Lord and Savior,
Shall return again,
With his Father's glory
O'er the earth to reign;
For all wreaths of empire
Meet upon his brow,
And our hearts confess him
King of glory now.

Make me a captive, Lord
Author: George Matheson (1842-1906) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #534 (2005) Scripture: Matthew 23:11 Lyrics: 1 Make me a captive, Lord,
and then I shall be free;
force me to render up my sword,
and I shall conqueror be.
I sink in life's alarms
when by myself I stand;
imprison me within thine arms,
and strong shall be my hand.
2 My heart is weak and poor
until it master find;
it has no spring of action sure,
it varies with the wind.
It cannot freely move
till thou hast wrought its chain;
enslave it with thy matchless love,
and deathless it shall reign.
3 My power is faint and low
till I have learned to serve;
it lacks the needed fire to glow,
it lacks the breeze to nerve;
it cannot drive the world,
until itself be driven;
its flag can only be unfurled
when thou shalt breathe from heaven.
4 My will is not my own
till thou hast made it thine;
if it would reach a monarch's throne
it must its crown resign;
it only stands unbent,
amid the clashing strife,
when on thy bosom it has leant
and found in thee its life. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Discipleship Languages: English Tune Title: LEOMINSTER

O Holy City, Seen of John
Author: Walter Russell Bowie Hymnal: Glory to God #374 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Scripture: Matthew 23:1-12 Lyrics: 1 O holy city, seen of John,
where Christ, the Lamb, does reign,
within whose four-square walls shall come
no night, nor need, nor pain,
and where the tears are wiped from eyes
that shall not weep again!
2 O shame to us who rest content
while lust and greed for gain
in street and shop and tenement
wring gold from human pain,
and bitter lips in deep despair
cry, "Christ has died in vain!"
3 Give us, O God, the strength to build
the city that has stood
too long a dream; whose laws are love,
whose ways are servant-hood,
and where the sun that shines becomes
your grace for human good.
4 Already in the mind of God
that city rises fair.
Lo, how its splendor challenges
the souls that greatly dare,
and bids us seize the whole of life
and build its glory there.

The Church of Christ in Every Age
Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Glory to God #320 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Matthew 23:1-12 Lyrics: 1 The church of Christ in every age,
beset by change but Spirit-led,
must claim and test its heritage
and keep on rising from the dead.
2 Across the world, across the street,
the victims of injustice cry
for shelter and for bread to eat,
and never live before they die.
3 Then let the servant church arise,
a caring church that longs to be
a partner in Christ's sacrifice,
and clothed in Christ's humanity.
4 For Christ alone, whose blood was shed,
can cure the fever in our blood,
and teach us how to share our bread
and feed the starving multitude.
5 We have no mission but to serve
in full obedience to our Lord:
to care for all, without reserve,
and spread Christ's liberating word.

Spirit of grace,

To all our neighbors,

Treasured and fed;

Gifts in each other,
Willing to lead and be led.

Help us to live
Closer than neighbors,
Open to strangers,
Able to clash and forgive.

Help us to see
In all life's changing
Where you are leading,
Where our best efforts should be.
5 Give, as we venture
Justice and care
(Peaceful, resisting,
Waiting or risking)
Wisdom to know when and where.
6 Spirit, unite us,
Make us, by grace,
Willing and ready,
Christ's living body,
Loving the whole human race.
