Author: Rusty Edwards, b. 1955 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 13 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 Lyrics: 1 We all are one in mission;
we all are one in call,
our varied gifts united
by Christ, the Lord of all.
A single great commission
compels us from above
to plan and work together
that all may know Christ's love.
2 We all are called for service,
to witness in God's name.
Our ministries are diff'rent;
our purpose is the same:
to touch the lives of others
with God's surprising grace,
so ev'ry folk and nation
may feel God's warm embrace.
3 Now let us be united,
and let our song be heard.
Now let us be a vessel
for God's redeeming Word.
We all are one in mission;
we all are one in call,
our varied gifts united
by Christ, the Lord of all. Topics: Reformation Day; Vocation, Ministry; Community in Christ; Epiphany, Time After Epiphany; Evangelism; Reformation Day; Sending; Unity; Vocation, Ministry; Witness Used With Tune: KUORTANE

O Jesus, I Have Promised
Author: John Ernest Bode Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 621 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised
To serve Thee to the end;
Be Thou forever near me,
My Master and my Friend;
I shall not fear the battle
If Thou art by my side,
Nor wander from the pathway
If Thou wilt be my Guide.
2 O let me feel Thee near me!
The world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
The tempting sounds I hear;
My foes are ever near me,
Around me and within;
But Jesus, draw Thou nearer,
And shield my soul from sin.
3 O let me hear Thee speaking
In accents clear and still,
Above the storms of passion,
The murmurs of self will.
O speak to reassure me,
To hasten or control;
O speak, and make me listen,
Thou Guardian of my soul.
4 O Jesus, Thou hast promised
To all who follow Thee
That where Thou art in glory
There shall Thy servant be.
And Jesus, I have promised
To serve Thee to the end;
O give me grace to follow,
My Master and my Friend.

And pay their vows before thee,

He shall within thy temple

And filled with all the goodness
of thy most holy place.

Man finds no sure reliance,
no peace, apart from thee.

Heirs of His home in heaven
Oh, praise our pard'ning God!

Enrich and sanctify.

We wandered far and wide,
Far from the cleansing fountain,
Far from the pierced side.
But Jesus sought and found us;
Our many sins He bore.
With cords of love He bound us
To Him forevermore.
3 Dear Master, Yours the glory
Of each recovered soul.
Ah, who can tell the story
Of love that made us whole?
Not ours, not ours the merit;
To You alone the praise!
Give us a thankful spirit
To serve You all our days.
4 Now keep us, holy Savior,
In Your true love and fear,
And grant us by Your favor
The grace to persevere
Till, in Your new creation,
Our earthly troubles o'er,
Heirs of Your free salvation,
We praise You evermore. Used With Tune: KUORTANE (NYLAND)

or over trackless sea,
though I be lone and weary,
lead on, I follow thee.

We Plow the Fields and Scatter
Author: Matthias Claudius; Jane Montgomery Campbell Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 453 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 We plow the fields and scatter
The good seed on the land,
But it is fed and watered
By God’s almighty hand;
He sends the snow in winter,
The warmth to swell the grain,
The breezes and the sunshine,
And soft refreshing rain.
2 You only are the Maker
Of all things near and far;
You paint the wayside flower,
You light the evening star;
The winds and waves obey You,
By You the birds are fed;
Much more to us, Your children,
You give our daily bread.
3 We thank You, then, Creator,
For all things bright and good,
The seed time and the harvest,
Our life, our health, our food;
Accept the gifts we offer,
For all Your love imparts,
And what You most would welcome,
Our humble, thankful hearts.

In Righteous Glory Reigning
Author: Neil Barham Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. In righteous glory reigning,
our God sits high enthroned,
His right and truth maintaining,
His justice making known.
He stands above Time’s river,
the worlds within His view,
His right hand will deliver
to every man his due.
2. Before His bar no pleading
excuses any flaw;
But wickedness exceeding
ignites the flames of Law.
’Mid Sinai’s sounding thunder
the verdict has been read:
All men, in awestruck wonder,
fall down before Him, dead.
3. Such wrath, beyond all telling!
Can it be turned aside?
Is there a strong, safe dwelling
where Hell can be denied?
Can holy, perfect righteousness
forgive and reconcile?
Can God, though angered, still bless
the wicked and the vile?
4. Yes, yes, my soul has found out!
There is a mercy sure!
A sovereign grace to sound out—
a love both true and pure!
The flesh of God is given
to meet the Law’s demands,
And now I am forgiven,
while Christ in Heaven stands!
5. With that propitiation,
God and His saints embrace!
That perfect expiation
has saved His chosen race!
Now mercy kisses justice;
now Truth and Love join hands,
Now Him in whom our trust is:
The Christ, our surety stands! Used With Tune: NYLAND

teach us as sister, brother each person to embrace.
Be present, Lord, among us and bring us to believe
We are ourselves accepted, and meant to love and live.

we struggle to be human and search for hope and faith.
Teach us to care for people, for all, not just for some,
to love them as we find them, or as they may become.
3 Let your acceptance change us, so that we may be moved
in living situations to do the truth in love,
to practice your acceptance until we know by heart
the table of forgiveness, and laughter's healing art.
4 Lord, for today's encounters with all who are in need,
who hunger for acceptance, for righteousness and bread,
we need new eyes for seeing, new hands for holding on;

To God Who Gave the Scriptures
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 To God who gave the scriptures
we bring our thanks today
for light upon life's journey,
a lamp to lead the way;
a sword to face the tempter,
a seed of life divine,
a glimpse of heaven's glory
upon our souls to shine.
2 To God who gave the scriptures
we sing salvation songs,
for laws of truth and judgment
to right our human wrongs;
a word to stand forever,
which faith and light impart,
a fire of love unchanging
to burn within our hearts.
3 To God who gave the scriptures
we come with love and praise
for all the gospel stories
of Galilean days,
the words of grace and mercy,
the cross and all its pains
as now in risen splendor
the King of glory reigns.
4 To God who gave the scriptures
we turn in faith to find
a taste of honeyed sweetness
to nourish heart and mind;
the promise of salvation,
the covenant restored,
the apostolic witness
that Jesus is the Lord.
5 To God who gave the scriptures
we lift our souls in prayer,
for eyes the Spirit opens
to find the treasures there;
that as we read and ponder
one voice alone is heard,
the Christ of all the scriptures,
the true and living Word.

Facing a Task Unfinished
Author: Frank Houghton Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Facing a task unfinished
that drives us to our knees,
a need that, undiminished,
rebukes our slothful ease,
we who rejoice to know you
renew before your throne
the solemn pledge we owe you
to go and make you known.
2 Where other lords beside you
hold their unhindered sway,
where forces that defied you
defy you still today,
with none to heed their crying
for life and love and light,
unnumbered souls are dying
and pass into the night.
3 We bear the torch that flaming
fell from the hands of those
who gave their lives proclaiming
that Jesus died and rose;
ours is the same commission,
the same glad message ours;
fired by the same ambition,
to you we yield our pow'rs.
4 O Father, who sustained them,
O Spirit, who inspired,
Savior, whose love constrained them
to toil with zeal untired,
from cowardice defend us,
from lethargy awake!
Forth on your errands send us
to labor for your sake. Topics: Spread of the Gospel; Christian warfare; Commitment; Deliverance; Martyrs; Sin; Spread of the Gospel Scripture: Matthew 10 Used With Tune: NYLAND
