Lord God, your love has called us here

Author: Brian Wren (born 1936) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Pentecost 7 The More Excellent Way Lyrics: 1 Lord God, your love has called us here as we, by love, for love were made; your living likeness still we bear, though marred, dishonoured, disobeyed. We come, with all our heart and mind your call to hear, your love to find. 2 We come with self-inflicted pains of broken trust and chosen wrong, half-free, half-bound by inner chains, by social forces swept along, by powers and systems close confined yet seeking hope for all humankind. 3 Lord God, in Christ you call our name and then receive us as your own not through some merit, right or claim but by your gracious love alone. We strain to glimpse your mercy-seat and find you kneeling at our feet. 4 Then take the towel, and break the bread, and humble us, and call us friends; suffer and serve till all are fed and show how grandly love intends to work till all creation sings, to fill all worlds, to crown all things. 5 Lord God, in Christ you set us free your life to live, your joy to share: give us your Spirit's liberty to turn from guilt and dull despair, and offer all that faith can do while love is making all things new.

God Moves in a Mysterious Way

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,129 hymnals Topics: Pentecost 7 (Year B) Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform; He plants his footsteps in the sea And rides upon the storm. 2 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust him for his grace; Behind a frowning providence Faith sees a smiling face. 3 Blind unbelief is sure to err And scan his work in vain; God is his own interpreter, And he will make it plain. 4 You fearful saints, fresh courage take; The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy and shall break In blessing on your head.
