The church is like a table

Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: Global Praise 2 #102 (2000) Topics: The Church Lyrics: 1 The church is like a table, a table that is round. It has no sides or corners, no first or last, no honors; here people are in oneness and love together bound. 2 The church is like a table, set in an open house; no protocol for seating, a symbol of inviting, of sharing, drinking, eating; an end to "them" and "us." 3 The church is like a table, a table for a feast to celebrate the healing of all excluded feeling, (while Christ is serving, kneeling, a towel round his waist). 4 The church is like a table, where every head is crowned as guests of God created, all are to each related; the whole world is awaited to make the circle round.

How fair the Church of Christ shall stand

Author: T. Kingo Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #406 (1913) Topics: The Church Year Fourth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Fourth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 How fair the Church of Christ shall stand, A beacon-light in all the land, When love and faith all hearts inspire, And all unite in one desire To be as brothers, and agree To live in peace and unity. 2 'Tis all in vain that you profess The doctrines of the Church, unless You live according to your creed, And show your faith by word and deed. Observe the rule: To others do As you would have them do to you. 3 Resentment, hate, and cruel jest, Must not be harbored in the breast Where love and charity should dwell; Then, think and speak of others well, Refrain from all that causes strife And mars a truly Christian life. 4 So let your tongue, your heart, and mind Agree to banish every kind Of malice, falsehood and disguise, And here on earth a paradise Of peace and harmony maintain, Where concord and good-will shall reign. 5 For God observes our thoughts and deeds, The secrets of our heart He reads; The wicked can not be concealed, Their evil ways shall be revealed, He every true believer knows, And love and grace on him bestows. 6 My soul, be therefore of good cheer, Though sinners threaten, scoff, and sneer, Serenely on your way proceed, Nor worldly strife and clamor heed, For Jesus' sake the cross you bear, And soon with Him the crown shall wear. 7 O gracious God, wilt Thou my heart So fashion in each secret part, That Thou be sanctified in me, Till Thee in heaven above I see, Where holy, holy, holy, Lord, We sing to Thee with sweet accord.

For naught despairing, Calm we follow at His word, Thus through joy and sorrow bearing Faithful witness to our Lord. 5 Tho’ we here must strive in weakness, Though in tears we often bend, What His might began in meekness Shall achieve a glorious end.

Built on the Rock the Church doth Stand

Author: Carl Döving; Nikolai F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #467 (1941) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: The Church Communion of Saints Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock the Church doth stand Even when steeples are falling; Crumbled have spires in ev'ry land, Bells still are chiming and calling, Calling the young and old to rest, But above all the soul distrest, Longing for rest everlasting. 2 Surely in temples made with hands God, the Most High, is not dwelling; High above earth His temple stands, All earthly temples excelling. Yet He whom heav'ns cannot contain Chose to abide on earth with men, Built in our bodies His temple. 3 We are God's house of living stones, Builded for His habitation; He through baptismal grace us owns Heirs of His wondrous salvation. Were we but two His name to tell, Yet He would deign with us to dwell, With all His grace and His favor. 4 Now we may gather with our King E'en in the lowliest dwelling; Praises to Him we there may bring, His wondrous mercy forthtelling; Jesus His grace to us accords; Spirit and life are all His words, His truth doth hallow the temple. 5 Still we our earthly temples rear That we may herald His praises; They are the homes where He draws near And little children embraces; Beautiful things in them are said; God there with us His covenant made, Making us heirs of His kingdom. 6 Here stands the font before our eyes Telling how God did receive us; Th'altar recalls Christ's sacrifice And what His table doth give us; Here sounds the Word that doth proclaim Christ yesterday, today, the same, Yea, and for aye our Redeemer. 7 Grant then, O God, where'er men roam, That, when the church-bells are ringing, Many in saving faith may come Where Christ His message is bringing: "I know Mine own, Mine own know Me; Ye, not the world, My face shall see. My peace I leave with you." Amen. Amen. Scripture: Ephesians 2:19-22 Languages: English Tune Title: KIRKEN DEN ER ET

The church of Christ, in every age

Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #486 (1997) Topics: The Church Lyrics: 1 The church of Christ in every age, beset by change but Spirit-led, must claim and test its heritage and keep on rising from the dead. 2 Across the world, across the street, the victims of injustice cry for shelter and for bread to eat, and never live until they die. 3 Then let the servant church arise, a caring church that longs to be a partner in Christ's sacrifice, and clothed in Christ's humanity. 4 For he alone, whose blood was shed, can cure the fever in our blood, and teach us how to share our bread and feed the starving multitude. 5 We have no mission but to serve in full obedience to our Lord, to care for all, without reserve, and spread his liberating Word.
