As We Gather at Your Table

Author: Carl P. Daw Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As we gather at your table, as we listen to your word, help us know, O God, your presence; let our hearts and minds be stirred. Nourish us with sacred story till we claim it as our own; teach us through this holy banquet how to make Love’s vict'ry known. 2 Turn our worship into witness in the sacrament of life; send us forth to love and serve you, bringing peace where there is strife. Give us, Christ, your great compassion to forgive as you forgave; may we still behold your image in the world you died to save. 3 Gracious Spirit, help us summon other guests to share that feast where triumphant Love will welcome those who had been last and least. There no more will envy blind us nor will pride our peace destroy, as we join with saints and angels to repeat the sounding joy.

Light of Ages and of Nations

Author: Samuel Longfellow, 1819-1892 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Light of ages and of nations, every race and every time has received thine inspirations, glimpses of thy truth sublime. Always spirits in rapt vision passed the heavenly veil within, always hearts bowed in contrition found salvation from their sin. 2 Reason’s noble aspiration truth in growing clearness saw; conscience spoke its condemnation, or proclaimed eternal law. While thine inward revelations told thy saints their prayers were heard, prophets to the guilty nations spoke thine everlasting word. 3 Lo, that word abideth ever; revelation is not sealed; answering now to our endeavor, truth and right are still revealed. That which came to ancient sages, Greek, Barbarian, Roman, Jew, written in the soul’s deep pages, shines today, forever new.

Sing of Andrew, John's Disciple

Author: Carl P. Daw Jr. Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Sing of Andrew, John's disciple, Led by faith through ways untrod, Till the Baptist cried at Jordan, "There behold the Lamb of God!" Stirred by hearing this new teacher, Andrew, freed from doubt and fear, Ran to tell his brother Simon, "God's Anointed One is here!" 2. Sing of Andrew, called by Jesus From the shores of Galilee, Leaving boats and nets and kindred, Trusting in that "Follow me." When a lad's small meal fed thousands, When inquiring Greeks found care, When the Spirit came in blessing, Andrew faithfully was there. 3. Sing of Andrew, bold apostle, Sent to make the gospel known, Faithful to his Lord's example, Called to make a cross his own. So may we who prize his memory Honor Christ in our own day, Bearing witness to our neighbors, Living what we sing and pray. Topics: Epiphany Scripture: John 1:29-42 Used With Tune: IN BABILONE

Church of God, Elect and Glorious

Author: James E. Seddon, 1915-1983 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Church of God, elect and glorious, Holy nation, chosen race; Called as God's own special people, Royal priests and heirs of grace: Know the purpose of your calling, Show to all his mighty deeds; Tell of love that knows no limits, Grace that meets all human needs. 2 God has called you out of darkness Into his most marv'lous light; Brought his truth to life within you, Turned your blindness into sight. Let your light so shine around you That God's name is glorified; And all find fresh hope and purpose In Christ Jesus crucified. 3 Once you were an alien people, Strangers to God's heart of love; But he brought you home in mercy, Citizens of heav'n above. Let his love flow out to others, Let them feel the Father's care; That they too may know his welcome And his countless blessings share. 4 Church of God, elect and holy, Be the people he intends; Strong in faith and swift to answer Each command your Master sends: Royal priests, fulfill your calling Through your sacrifice and prayer; Give your lives in joyful service Sing his praise, his love declare.
