Sometimes a light surprises
Author: William Cowper, 1731 - 1800 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #495b (1958) Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises
The Christian while he sings;
It is the Lord who rises
With healing in his wings;
When comforts are declining,
He grants the soul again
A season of clear shining,
To cheer it after rain.
2 In holy contemplation
We sweetly then pursue
The theme of God’s salvation,
And find it ever new;
Set free from present sorrow,
We cheerfully can say,
Let the unknown tomorrow
Bring with it what it may.
3 It can bring with it nothing
But he will bear us through;
Who gives the lilies clothing
Will clothe his people, too:
Beneath the spreading heavens
No creature but is fed,
And he who feeds the ravens
Will give his children bread.
4 Though vine nor fig tree neither
Their wonted fruit should bear,
Though all the fields should wither,
Nor flocks nor herds be there;
Yet God, the same abiding,
His praise shall tune my voice;
For, while in him confiding
I cannot but rejoice. Topics: The Church Year Pentecost - The Holy Ghost; The Life in Christ Repentance and Faith; The Life In Christ Contemplation Tune Title: CRUGER

The voice of God is calling
Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #522 (1920) Lyrics: 1 The voice of God is calling
Its summons unto men;
As once He spoke in Zion,
So now He speaks again.
When shall I send to succour
My people in their need?
Whom shall I send to loosen
The bonds of lust and greed?
2 I hear my people crying
In cot and mine and slum;
No field of man is silent,
No city street is dumb.
I see my people falling
In darkness and despair,
Whom shall I send to shatter
The letters which they bear?
3 We heed, O Lord, Thy summons,
And answer, here are we!
Send us upon Thine errand,
Let us Thy servants be,
Our strength is dust and ashes,
Our years a passing hour
But Thou canst use our weakness,
To magnify Thy power.
4 From ease and pleasure save us,
From pride of place absolve;
Purge us of low desire,
Lift us to high resolve.
Take us, and make us holy,
Teach us Thy will and way,
Speak, and behold! we answer,
Command, and we obey! Topics: General Brotherhood, Service, Guilds, Parochial Missions Languages: English Tune Title: CRUGER

Thy hand, O God, has guided
O bless the God of Israel
Author: Michael Perry (born 1942) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #599 (1987) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O bless the God of Israel,
who comes to set us free;
who visits and redeems us,
with love for all to see.
The prophets spoke of mercy,
of rescue and release:
God shall fulfill his promise
and bring his people peace.
2 He comes! the Child of David,
the Son whom God has given;
he comes to live among us
and raise us up to heaven:
before him goes his servant —
forerunner in the way,
the prophet of salvation,
the herald of the Day.
3 Where once were fear and darkness,
the sun begins to rise —
the dawning of forgiveness
upon the sinner's eyes.
He guides the feet of pilgrims
along the paths of peace:
O bless our God and Saviour,
with songs that never cease! Topics: God's Church Doxology, Glory to God; Benedictus; Advent 1 The Advent Hope; Advent 3 The Forerunner; Last Sunday after Pentecost Citizens of Heaven Scripture: Luke 1:68-79 Languages: English Tune Title: CRÜGER

Give thanks, my soul, for harvest
Author: William Watkins Reid, 1890- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #805 (1997) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Give thanks, my soul, for harvest,
for store of fruit and grain,
but know the owner gives us
that we may share again;
where souls are lone and hungry,
where needy children cry,
with gifts from God’s rich bounty
may thankfulness reply.
2 Give thanks, my soul, for riches
of woodland, mine and hill,
but know that gold and timber
are the Creator's still,
and God's on loan to stewards
to fashion and to share,
providing all earth's children
the blessing of God's care.
3 Give thanks, my soul, for labours
that strength and days employ,
but know your Maker's purpose
brings toil as well as joy.
Where leads the path to error,
where justice lies in chain,
where hoarders cause new hunger,
there must we strive again.
4 Give thanks, my soul, for beauty,
for vision, hope and skill,
for Christ, divine revealer
of God's redeeming will.
Show forth, O God, your purpose;
direct our will and hand
to share your love and bounty
with all, in every land. Topics: God Will of; Harvest Thanksgiving; Hope; Social Concerns / Social Justice; Stewardship; Vision / Dream; Work Scripture: Psalm 50:10-11 Languages: English Tune Title: CRÜGER
