O Word of God Incarnate
Author: William W. How Hymnal: The Hymnal for Worship and Celebration #269 (1986) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Christian Education Lyrics: 1 O Word of God incarnate,
O Wisdom from on high,
O Truth unchanged, unchanging,
O Light of our dark sky;
We praise Thee for the radiance
That from the hallowed page,
A lantern to our footsteps,
Shines on from age to age.
2 The Church from her dear Master
Received the gift divine,
And still that light she lifteth
O'er all the earth to shine.
It is the golden casket
Where gems of truth are stored;
It is the heav'n-drawn picture
Of Christ, the living Word.
3 It floateth like a banner
Before God's host unfurled;
It shineth like a beacon
Above the darkling world.
It is the chart and compass
That o'er life's surging sea,
'Mid mists and rocks and quicksands,
Still guides, O Christ, to Thee.
4 O make Thy Church, dear Savior,
A lamp of purest gold
To bear before the nations
Thy true light as of old.
O teach Thy wand'ring pilgrims
By this their path to trace,
Till, clouds and darkness ended,
They see Thee face to face.
Amen.

Lead On, O King Eternal!
Author: Ernest W. Shurtleff Hymnal: Glory to God #269 (2013) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Teaching/Education Lyrics: 1 Lead on, O King eternal!
The day of march has come;
henceforth in fields of conquest
your tents shall be our home.
Through days of preparation
your grace has made us strong,
and now, O King eternal,
we lift our battle song.
2 Lead on, O King eternal,
till sin's fierce war shall cease,
and holiness shall whisper
the sweet amen of peace;
for not with swords' loud clashing,
nor roll of stirring drums;
with deeds of love and mercy
the heavenly kingdom comes.
3 Lead on, O King eternal:
we follow, not with fears,
for gladness breaks like morning
where'er your face appears;
your cross is lifted o'er us;
we journey in its light.
The crown awaits the conquest;
lead on, O God of might!

One Thing's Needful
Author: Johann H. Schröder, 1667-99; Frances E. Cox, 1812-97 Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #277 (1982) Meter: 8.7.8.7.12.12.11.11 Topics: Education, Christian First Line: One thing's needful; Lord, this treasure Lyrics: 1 One thing’s needful; Lord, this treasure
Teach me highly to regard;
All else, though it first give pleasure,
Is a yoke that presses hard.
Beneath it the heart is still fretting and striving,
No true, lasting happiness ever deriving.
The gain of this one thing all loss can requite,
Can teach me in all things to find true delight.
2 If you seek this one thing needful,
Turn from all created things;
Turn to Jesus and be heedful
Of the peace and joy he brings.
For where God and man both in one are united,
With love and forgiveness the heart is delighted;
There, there is the worthiest lot and the best,
Where Jesus alone is your joy and your rest.
3 How were Mary’s thoughts devoted
Her eternal joy to find
As intent each word she noted
At her Savior’s feet reclined!
How kindled her heart, how devout was its feeling
While hearing the wisdom that Christ was revealing!
For Jesus all earthly concerns she forgot
In love and devotion to what Jesus taught.
4 So my longings, upward tending,
Jesus, rest alone on you.
All my life on you depending,
Teach me what to will and do.
Although all the world should forsake and forget you,
In love I would follow, I'll never desert you.
The words of your teaching, O Lord, are my life,
My joy and my peace in this vain world of strife.
5 Wisdom’s highest, noblest treasure,
Jesus, is revealed in you.
Let me find in you my pleasure,
Make my will and actions true,
Humility there and simplicity reigning,
In paths of true wisdom my steps ever training.
If I learn from Jesus this knowledge divine,
The blessing of heavenly wisdom is mine.
6 Therefore you alone, my Savior,
Shall be all in all to me:
Search my heart and my behavior,
Root out all hypocrisy.
Through all my life’s pilgrimage, guard and uphold me,
In loving forgiveness, O Jesus, enfold me.
This one thing is needful, all others are vain;
I count all but loss that I Christ may obtain! Languages: English Tune Title: EINS IST NOT

Holy Presence, Holy Teacher

Light illumining our lives,

all our work and worship thrives:
lead us when we sense Your calling
till we find our chosen field,
following Your hand's direction,
honoring Your truth revealed.
2 By our nurture, by our culture
every life is shaped to grow,
fed by long tradition's learning,
formed by mentors as we go;
tune our ears to hear the gospel
questioning accepted thought,
ready to respect each other,
see the gifts that each has brought.
3 Yours the world of power and beauty,
ours the task to tend its needs,
day by day in cheerful service
growing faith like mustard seeds,
striving in unlikely places,
standing where indeed we must,
acting from compelling conscience,
working for what's fair and just.
4 God, we pray for understanding
in our study, in our goals,
charges that will change and challenge,
vision to inspire our souls,
that this place for mind's reflection,
faith examined, word addressed,
be a witness to Your teaching,
and our faithful search be blessed.

"Am I My Brother's Keeper?"
Author: Ian Ferguson Hymnal: The Worshipbook #295 (1972) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Other Observances Christian Education Lyrics: 1 "Am I my brother's keeper?"
The muttered cry was drowned
By Abel's life-blood shouting
In silence from the ground.
For no man is an island
Divided from the main—
The bell which tolled for Abel
Tolled equally for Cain.
2 The ruler called for water
And thought his hands were clean.
Christ counted less than order,
The man than the machine.
The crowd cried, "Crucify him!,"
Their malice wouldn't budge,
So Pilate called for water,
And history's his judge.
3 As long as people hunger,
As long as people thirst,
And ignorance and illness
And warfare do their worst,
As long as there's injustice
In any of God's lands,
I am my brother's keeper,
I dare not wash my hands.
Amen. Tune Title: WHITFORD

God, the most high, is not dwelling;
High above earth his temple stands,
All earthly temples excelling;
Yet he whom heavens 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 forth-telling;
Jesus his grace to us accords,
Spirit and life are all his words,

O Wisdom from on high,
O Truth unchanged, unchanging,
O Light of our dark sky:
We praise you for the radiance
That from the hallowed page,
A lantern to our footsteps,
Shines on from age to age.
2 The Church from you, dear Master,
Received the gift divine;
And still that light is lifted
O'er all the earth to shine.
It is the chart and compass
That, all life's voyage through,
Mid mists and rocks and quicksands
Still guides, O Christ, to you.
3 Oh, make your Church, dear Savior,
A lamp of burnished gold
To bear before the nations
Your true light as of old!
Oh, teach your wand'ring pilgrims
By this their path to trace
Till, clouds and darkness ended,
They see you face to face! Languages: English Tune Title: MUNICH

O'er the earth another day.

All your feeble strength can pay.

Ready burning
Be the incense of your powers.
For the night is safely ended;
God has tended
With his care your helpless hours.

Each endeavor
When your aim is good and true;
But that he may ever thwart you,
And convert you,
When you evil would pursue.

Light refuse not,
But his Spirit's voice obey;
You with him shall dwell, beholding
Light enfolding
All things in unclouded day.

One sure faith is standing fast;

Dear Lord and Father of Mankind
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Hymnal: The Worshipbook #350 (1972) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Topics: Other Observances Christian Education Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
Forgive our foolish ways;
Reclothe us in our rightful mind,
In purer lives thy service find,
In deeper reverence, praise.
2 In simple trust like theirs who heard,
Beside the Syrian sea,
The gracious calling of the Lord,
Let us, like them, without a word
Rise up and follow thee.
3 O Sabbath rest by Galilee!
O calm of hills above,
Where Jesus knelt to share with thee
The silence of eternity,
Interpreted by love!
4 Drop thy still dews of quietness,
Till all our strivings cease;
Take from our souls the strain and stress,
And let our ordered lives confess
The beauty of thy peace.
5 Breathe through the heats of our desire
Thy coolness and thy balm;
Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still, small voice of calm!
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 4:18-22 Tune Title: REST
Dear Lord and Father of Mankind
