Author: Christopher Idle (b. 1938) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, come! for we invite you,
Guest and Master, Friend and Lord;
now, as once at Cana's wedding,
speak, and let us hear your word:
lead us through our need or doubting,
hope be born and joy restored.
2 Jesus, come! transform our pleasures,
guide us into paths unknown;
bring your gifts, command your servants,
let us trust in you alone:
though your hand may work in secret,
all shall see what you have done.
3 Jesus, come in new creation,
heaven brought near in power divine;
give your unexpected glory
changing water into wine:
rouse the faith of your disciples —
come, our first and greatest Sign!
4 Jesus, come! surprise our dullness,
make us willing to receive
more than we can yet imagine,
all the best you have to give:
let us find your hidden riches,
taste your love, believe, and live! Topics: Church Year Epiphany; Discipleship; Epiphany; Guidance; Jesus Life and Ministry; Other Saints and Festivals Mary Magdalene; The Third Sunday of Epiphany Year B; Gathering Scripture: John 2:1-4 Used With Tune: UNSER HERRSCHER (NEANDER)
