God of Wonder, God of Thunder

Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #18 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 God of wonder, God of thunder, God of impact and release, God of riddle and of reason, God of passion and of peace— to your mystery and marvel we return to give you praise, every year with you beginning to the closing of our days. 2 Seasons' turning, seasons' learning, all are held within your span: times of growing, times of knowing love in woman, child, and man, calendar of calm and crisis, hurt and healing, high success, all the instants of our being now we bring for you to bless. 3 For we name you and we claim you, Father, Mother, Spirit, Friend: you are vision past our vision, you are end beyond our end; all the circles, all the cycles of our little finite phase now we give into your keeping, trusting you through all our days.

Where is Bread?

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #22b (2009) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: "Where is bread?" the great crowd murmured-- Lyrics: “Where is bread?” the great crowd murmured— Thousands strong, yet all in need. “Where is bread?” your people wondered, Faced with such a crowd to feed. Who, Lord Jesus, could have guessed it? One small boy brought food to share. Taking what he gave, you blessed it; All were fed, with much to spare. Where is bread? We know their yearning; Every day, we wish for more. God, in time, we’re slowly learning: All we own can make us poor. Our possessions can possess us, Leaving hunger deep inside. Christ our Bread, come now and bless us; At your feast, we’re satisfied. “Where is bread?” the call is rising; Millions cry who must be fed. God, your answer seems surprising: “You, my Church, you give them bread.” Bread to fill each hungry spirit, Bread for hungry stomachs, too! Give us bread and help us share it. Richly blest, may we serve you. Topics: Eucharist/Lord's Supper; Jesus Christ; Justice Scripture: John 6:1-15 Languages: English Tune Title: IN BABILONE

Sing of Andrew, John's Disciple

Author: Carl P. Daw Jr. Hymnal: Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship #52 (2024) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D 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.

In the days we spend together, in the feasts that we prepare, In the times of joy and laughter, may we know your loving care. Yet, O Lord, we see you crying for the ones who know no rest, For your children, hungry, dying, for the homeless and oppressed. May we, as your sons and daughters, share with open heart and hand, Till your justice flows like water to the poor throughout the land. Bless, O Christ, our gifts of caring, for we know without a doubt: Soup and bread are made for sharing, hands are made for reaching out. Even in our times of playing, may we keep the vision clear: Keep us serving, loving, praying, welcoming your kingdom here.
