Jesus invites his saints
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 242 hymnals Topics: Witness to Community Lyrics: 1 Jesus invites his saints
to meet around his board;
here pardoned rebels sit, and hold
communion with their Lord.
2 For food he gives his flesh,
calls us to drink his blood;
amazing favour, matchless grace
of our descending God!
3 Our heavenly father calls
Christ and his members one:
we the young children of his love,
and he the first-born Son.
4 We are but several parts
of the same broken bread;
our body hath its several limbs,
but Jesus is the head.
5 Let all our powers be joined
his glorious name to raise;
pleasure and love fill every mind
and every voice be praise.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 Used With Tune: NARENZA

O Spirit of the living God
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 373 hymnals Topics: Witness to Community Lyrics: 1 O Spirit of the living God,
in all the fullness of your grace,
wherever human feet has trod,
descend upon our rebellious race.
2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love
to preach the reconciling word;
anoint with power from heaven above
whenever gospel truth is heard.
3 Let darkness, at your coming, light;
confusion, order in your path;
souls without strength inspire with might;
bid mercy triumph over wrath.
4 O, Spirit of the Lord, prepare
the whole round earth its God to meet;
and breathe abroad like morning air,
till hearts of stone begin to beat.
5 Baptize the nations; far and wide
the triumphs of the Cross record;
the name of Christ be glorified;
let every people call him Lord.
Scripture: Acts 1:3-11 Used With Tune: GONFALON ROYAL

Where cross the crowded ways of life
Author: Frank Mason North, 1850-1935 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 369 hymnals Topics: Witness to Community Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
where sound the cries of race and clan,
above the noise of selfish strife
we hear your voice, O Son of Man.
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
on shadowed thresholds dark with fears,
from paths where hide the lures of greed
we catch the vision of your tears.
3 From tender childhood's helplessness,
from human grief and burdened toil,
from famished souls, from sorrow's stress,
your heart has never known recoil.
4 The cup of water given for you
still holds the freshness of your grace;
yet long these multitudes to see
the sweet compassion of your face.
5 O Master, from the mountain side
make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
among these restless throngs abide,
and tread the city's streets again:
6 till all the world shall learn your love
and follow where your feet have trod,
till glorious from your heaven above
shall come the city of our God. Scripture: Hebrews 2:17-18 Used With Tune: FULDA
