A Charge to Keep I Have
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1,351 hymnals Topics: Installation Services Lyrics: 1. A charge to keep I have,
a God to glorify,
a never-dying soul to save,
and fit it for the sky.
2. To serve the present age,
my calling to fulfill;
O may it all my powers engage
to do my Master's will!
3. Arm me with jealous care,
as in thy sight to live,
and oh, thy servant, Lord, prepare
a strict account to give!
4. Help me to watch and pray,
and on thyself rely,
assured, if I my trust betray,
I shall forever die.

How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: Ordination/Installation Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord,
when once we heed your call
to live according to your word
and daily learn, refreshed, restored,
that you are Lord of all
and will not let us fall.
2 But if, forgetful, we should find
your yoke is hard to bear;
if worldly pressures fray the mind
and love itself cannot unwind
its tangled skein of care:
our inward life repair.
3 We marvel how your saints became
in hindrances more sure:
whose joyful virtues put to shame
the casual way we wear your name,
and by our faults obscure
your power to cleanse and cure.
4 In what you give us, Lord, to do,
together or alone,
in old routines or ventures new,
may we not cease to look to you:
the cross you hung upon,
all you endeavored, done.
Scripture: Isaiah 6:8 Used With Tune: REPTON

Not unto Us, O Lord of Heaven
Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Occasional Services Ordination and/or Installation Lyrics: 1 Not unto us, O Lord of heaven,
but unto you be glory given.
In love and truth you do fulfill
the counsels of your sovereign will;
though nations fail your power to own,
yet you still reign, and you alone.
2 The idol gods of heathen lands
are but the work of human hands;
they cannot see, they cannot speak,
their ears are deaf, their hands are weak;
like them shall be all those who hold
to gods of silver and of gold.
3 So let us trust in God alone,
the Lord, whose grace and power are known;
and our complete allegiance yield
to God who is our help and shield.
Join, heaven and earth, in sweet accord;
sing "Hallelujah, praise the Lord!" Scripture: Psalm 115 Used With Tune: VATER UNSER Text Sources: Psalter, 1912, alt.
Not unto Us, O Lord of Heaven
How Shall They Hear the Word of God
Author: Michael Perry Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: Installation Services Lyrics: 1 How shall they hear the word of God
unless the truth is told?
How shall the sinful be set free,
the sorrowful consoled?
To all who speak the truth today,
impart your Spirit, Lord, we pray.
2 How shall they call to God for help
unless they have believed?
How shall the poor be given hope,
the prisoner reprieved?
To those who help the blind to see,
give light and love and clarity.
3 How shall the gospel be proclaimed
that sinners may repent?
How shall the world find peace at last
if heralds are not sent?
So send us, Lord, for we rejoice
to speak of Christ with life and voice.
Scripture: Romans 10:14-15 Used With Tune: AUCH JETZT MACHT GOTT

Lord, You Give the Great Commission
Author: Jeffery W. Rowthorn Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 43 hymnals Topics: The Church at Worship Profession of Faith, Ordination, Commissioning, Installation Lyrics: 1 Lord, you give the great commission:
"Heal the sick and preach the word."
Lest the church neglect its mission
and the gospel go unheard,
help us witness to your purpose
with renewed integrity:
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry.
2 Lord, you call us to your service:
"In my name baptize and teach."
That the world may trust your promise,
life abundant meant for each,
give us all new fervour, draw us
closer in community:
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry.
3 Lord, you make the common holy:
"This my body, this my blood."
Let us all, for earth's true glory,
daily lift life heavenward,
asking that the world around us
share your children's liberty:
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry.
4 Lord, you show us love's true measure:
"Father, what they do, forgive."
Yet we hoard as private treasure
all that you so freely give.
May your care and mercy lead us
to a just society:
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry.
5 Lord, you bless with words assuring:
"I am with you to the end."
Faith and hope and love restoring,
may we serve as you intend,
and, amid the cares that claim us,
hold in mind eternity:
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry. Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH

not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use
every power as thou shalt choose,

it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart - it is thine own;
it shall be thy royal throne,
it shall be thy royal throne.

at thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be
ever, only, all for thee,
