Looking Back, O God, We Wonder

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #48 (2009) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Looking back, O God, we wonder of that time in history Lyrics: Looking back, O God, we wonder of that time in history When the early settlers gathered, building this community. Children did their chores and played here; men and women worked the land. Sundays, Lord, they knelt and prayed here, seeking your protecting hand. Looking to your love, we worship as your people long have done, Sharing bread and Word and friendship, singing praises to your Son. Bricks of old are such a treasure, well-worn pews proclaim our past; But your love beyond all measure is the treasure that will last. Looking out, we see our neighbors, and—in each one—Jesus’ face. God, we offer you our labors so that all will know your grace. As we witness all around us, as we welcome strangers in, As we help those lost and homeless, your church welcomes you again. Looking on to where we’re going, God, we wonder what will be; Yet we trust your Spirit, knowing you will guide our ministry. You give each new generation ways to praise you, work to do; God, be with this congregation as we keep on serving you.

Love Divine, All Loves Excelling

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Hymns for a Pilgrim People #48 (2007) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all loves excelling, Joy of heav'n, to earth come down, Fix in us Thy humble dwelling, All Thy faithful mercies crown; Jesus, Thou art all compassion, Pure, unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation, Enter ev'ry trembling heart. 2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit Into ev'ry troubled breast; Let us all in Thee inherit, Let us find Thy promised rest;. Take away the love of sinning; Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. 3 Come, Almighty to deliver, Let us all Thy grace receive; Suddenly return, and never, Nevermore Thy temples leave. Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above, Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy perfect love. 4 Finish, then, Thy new creation; Pure and spotless let us be; Let us see Thy great salvation Perfectly restored in Thee: Changed from glory into glory, Till in heav'n we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise. Amen.

It Is Good to Sing Your Praises

Hymnal: Hymns to the Living God #48 (2017) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 It is good to sing Your praises and to thank You, O Most High, showing forth Your loving-kindness when the morning lights the sky. It is good when night is falling of Your faithfulness to tell, while with sweet, melodious praises songs of adoration swell. 2 You have filled my heart with gladness through the works Your hands have wrought; You have made my life victorious; great Your works and deep Your thought. You, O LORD, on high exalted, reign forevermore in might; all Your enemies shall perish, sin be banished from Your sight. 3 But the good shall live before You, planted in Your dwelling place, fruitful trees and ever verdant, nourished by Your boundless grace. In His goodness to the righteous God His righteousness displays; God, my Rock, my Strength and Refuge, just and true are all Your ways.

Long ago, your people worshiped, shared the gospel, served you well, Celebrated grace and friendship, then went out, your love to tell. What a faith-filled, rich tradition we are blest, O Christ, to know. Guided by your Great Commission, many helped our church to grow. Called by you to love their neighbors, thousands served you here with grace. Thank you for their loving labors that have brought us to this place. Grateful for the past you’ve given, now we look in hope to you. Make us salt, and light, and leaven, working for a world that’s new. By your Spirit, lead and guide us as your loving family, Teach us, shape us, walk beside us! Send us out in ministry!
