How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #580 (2006) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Topics: Vocation, Ministry; Vocation, Ministry 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 become
in hindrances more sure;
whose joyful virtues put to shame
the casual way we wear your name,
and by our faults obscure
your pow'r 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. Languages: English Tune Title: REPTON

Our God, You Called to Moses
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #5 (2009) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Call/Vocation First Line: Our God, you called to Moses to set your people free Lyrics: Our God, you called to Moses to set your people free.
What wrongly some suppose is: He answered easily.
“I’m not the one you’re seeking!” he seemed instead to say.
“My strength is not in speaking; God, find another way!”
And yet, O Lord, you told him to trust in what you said.
Your strength would surely hold him through every day ahead.
Though many would oppose him, by your own name he’d know:
You were the one who chose him to help your people go.
You call each congregation to serve the lost and poor.
We doubt our own vocation; we ask, “Lord, are you sure?”
Yet you give gifts for sharing, you show us what to say.
Your Spirit gives us daring to serve Christ every day.

There Are Many Ways of Sharing
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #41a (2009) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Call/Vocation First Line: There are many ways of sharing, But God's Spirit gives each one Lyrics: There are many ways of sharing, But God’s Spirit gives each one.
There are different ways of caring; It’s one Lord whose work is done.
God, whose gifts are overflowing, May we hear you when you call;
Keep us serving, keep us growing, For the common good of all.
We’ve been baptized in the waters! We’ve been given work to do.
When you call your sons and daughters, You give gifts for serving you.
God, we join in celebration Of the talents you impart.
Bless each baptized one’s vocation; Give each one a servant’s heart.
All are blest by gifts you give us; Some are set apart to lead.
Give us Jesus’ love within us As we care for those in need.
Give us faith to make decisions; Give us joy to share your Word.
Give us unity and vision As we serve your church and world.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12 Languages: English Tune Title: NETTLETON
