A King on High Is Reigning

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A King on high is reigning whom endless ages bless, from sea to sea sustaining his rule of righteousness. Beneath his strong defending his people stand secure, whose justice knows no ending while sun and moon endure. 2 As rains that gently nourish and bring the seed to birth, his righteousness shall flourish, his peace possess the earth; her sceptered kings acclaim him, before his feet they fall, the nations kneel to name him the sov'reign Lord of all. 3 The poor are in his keeping, he hears their bitter cry, his watchfulness unsleeping to answer ev'ry sigh; the lonely and neglected, the outcast and in need, forsaken and rejected, to him are dear indeed. 4 His name endures for ever who formed the fertile land; the fruits of our endeavor shall prosper in his hand. With prayer and song and story his praises sound again, in all the earth his glory; so be it, Lord! Amen!

O Come, Ye Youths and Maidens

Author: Ernest Edwin Ryden Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O come, ye youths and maidens In ev’ry clime and land, Ye followers of Jesus, The Lord’s own chosen band; Come, lift your cheerful voices To praise your heav’nly King, For He delights in anthems The happy children sing. 2 The Saviour loves the children,— Himself was once a child Who lay on Mary’s bosom, An infant, meek and mild,— And now in heav’n He listens To hymns of joy they bring; He knows no dearer music Than songs the children sing. 3 To seek His straying children He came to earth and died, And now the gentle Shepherd Would draw them to His side. ‘Tis meet that childish voices Should praise their Saviour King; Let all the earth reecho The song the children sing! 4 What tho’ the years may hasten, And youthful joys take wing, To childhood songs of Jesus And childlike faith we’ll cling; Some day with holier voices Our grateful praise we’ll bring, And join the ransomed children In songs the angels sing. Amen. Used With Tune: [O come, ye youths and maidens]

O Lord, You Called Disciples

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: O Lord, you called disciples, proclaiming, "Come and see!" Lyrics: O Lord, you called disciples, proclaiming, “Come and see!” And so an invitation began your ministry. Then Andrew called his brother, and Peter came to you; More men and women followed, and little children, too. You met a busy woman out in the noon-day sun. You shared God’s love, you listened; you told all she had done. She called her friends and neighbors and brought them face to face With you, the living water, the bearer of God’s grace. O Christ, your invitation has reached from year to year! Through some who heard you calling, a church was founded here. As faithful people served you a century ago,* They soon invited others; your church began to grow. God, by your Holy Spirit, now send us in your name To serve the lost and outcast, the poor for whom you came. Through gifts of hope and healing, through loving ministry, May we reach out, inviting the world to “Come and see!” *Or “as faithful people served you so many years ago,” Topics: Call/Vocation; Jesus Christ Ministry Scripture: John 1:35-41 Used With Tune: LANCASHIRE

You Call Us, Lord, to Worship

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: You call us, Lord, to worship; the day is set aside Lyrics: You call us, Lord, to worship; the day is set aside. Your love is overflowing; the doors are opened wide. Yet as we see your goodness, we see what we have been. And so we humbly ask you, "Forgive us of our sin!" We are forgiven people; we know your love's embrace. The peace of Christ is with us; forgiveness fills this place. We hear your word in scripture, in sermon and in song. Again, again, you tell us: we're loved and we belong. We share our joys and sorrows and then we offer prayer For people who are hurting, for nations everywhere. We bring our tithes and offerings, returning what is yours, For what we keep may vanish, but what we give endures. We celebrate your love, Lord, with water, wine and bread. For at your font we're welcomed and at your feast we're fed. We pray the prayer you taught us; we sing your praise and then Through daily, faithful living, we worship you again.
