We Give You But Your Own
Author: William Walsham How Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 484 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 25:35-40 Lyrics: 1 We give you but your own
in any gifts we bring:
all that we have is yours alone,
a trust from you, our King.
2 May we your bounties thus
as stewards true receive,
and gladly, Lord, as you bless us,
to you our firstfruits give.
3 To comfort and to bless,
to find a balm for woe,
to tend those lost in loneliness
is angels' work below.
4 The captive to release,
the lost to God to bring,
to teach the way of life and peace
it is a Christlike thing.
5 And we believe your Word,
though dim our faith may be.
Whate'er we do for you, O Lord,
we do it gratefully.

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 341 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 25:34-46 Lyrics: 1 Day of judgment! Day of wonders!
Hark! the trumpet's awesome sound,
louder than a thousand thunders,
shakes the vast creation round.
How the summons
will the sinner's heart confound!
2 See the Judge, our nature wearing,
clothed in majesty divine.
You who long for his appearing
then shall say, "This God is mine!"
Gracious Savior,
own me on that day as thine.
3 At his call the dead awaken,
rise to life from earth and sea.
All the powers of nature, shaken
by his looks, prepare to flee.
Careless sinner,
what will then become of thee?
4 But to those who have confessed,
loved, and served the Lord below,
he will say, "Come near, you blessed,
see the kingdom I bestow;
you forever
shall my love and glory know."

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life

Above the noise of selfish strife,

On shadowed thresholds dark with fears,
From paths where hide the lures of greed,
We catch the vision of Thy tears.

Stills holds the freshness of Thy grace;
Yet long these multitudes to see
The sweet compassion of Thy face.
4 O Master, from the mountain side,
Make haste to heal these hearts of pain,
Among these restless throngs abide,
O tread the city's streets again;
5 Till sons of men shall learn Thy love,
And follow where Thy feet have trod;
Till glorious from Thy heav'n above
Shall come the city of our God.
Amen.

What joyful tidings spread!

Whose wrath ye cannot bear;
Fly to the shelter of his cross,
And find salvation there.

By which the Saviour bled;
And the last awful day shall pour
His blessings on your head.

every knee shall bow,
every 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 At his voice creation
sprang at once to sight,
all the angel faces,
all the hosts of light,
thrones and dominations,
stars upon their way,
all the heavenly orders,
in their great array.
3 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 from death he passed:
*4 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.
5 Name him, Christians, name him,
with love strong as death,
but with awe and wonder
and with bated breath:
he is God the Saviour,
he is Christ the Lord,
ever to be worshipped,
trusted, and adored.
*6 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.
7 Surely, this Lord Jesus
shall return again,
with his Father's glory,
with his angel train;
for all wreaths of empire
meet upon his brow,
and our hearts confess him
King of glory now. Topics: Lent II Year B; Easter VII Year C; Proper 5 Year A; Ascension Used With Tune: EVELYNS

beset by change but Spirit-led,
must claim and test its heritage
and keep on rising from the dead.

the victims of injustice cry
for shelter and for bread to eat,
and never live until they die.

a caring church that longs to be
a partner in Christ's sacrifice,
and clothed in Christ's humanity.

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.

Here to the house of God we come
Author: Shirley Erena Murray (b. 1931) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 25:31-46 Lyrics: 1 Here to the house of God we come,
home of the people of the Way,
here to give thanks for all we have,
naming our needs for every day,
we who have roof and rent and bread,
sure of a place to rest our head.
2 There is a knocking at our door,
sound of the homeless of the world,
voice of the frightened refugee,
cry of the children in the cold,
asking the least that is their right,
safety and shelter for the night.
3 God who is shelter, who is home,
in borrowed rooms you came to live,
pleaded to save the dispossessed,
crucified, lay in borrowed grave:
these are no strangers in your eyes,
this is your family which cries.
4 We are all tenants of your love;
gather us round a common fire,
warm us in company with Christ,
give us the heart to feel, to share
table and lodging with free hand,
space in our living, in our land. Topics: Our Response to God in the worship of God's house; Children; Church images of; Gathering; God names and imags of; Strangers and Exiles Used With Tune: KHAO I DANG

Lord, Lead the Way the Savior Went
Author: William Croswell Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 200 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 25:40 Lyrics: 1 Lord, lead the way the Savior went,
By lane and cell obscure,
And let love’s treasures still be spent,
Like His, upon the poor.
2 Like Him, thro' scenes of deep distress,
Who bore the world’s sad weight,
We in their crowded loneliness,
Would seek the desolate.
3 For Thou hast placed us side by side
In this wide world of ill;
And that Thy foll'wers may be tried,
The poor are with us still.
4 Mean are all off'rings we can make;
But Thou hast taught us, Lord,
If given for the Savior’s sake,
They lose not their reward.
Amen. Topics: Sanctification (The Christian Life) Stewardship Used With Tune: FARRANT
