Let Us Talents and Tongues Employ
Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #347 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8 with refrain Topics: Gospel Call and Response Refrain First Line: Jesus lives again, earth can breathe again Lyrics: 1 Let us talents and tongues employ,
reaching out with a shout of joy;
bread is broken, the wine is poured,
Christ is spoken and seen and heard.
Refrain:
Jesus lives again, earth can breathe again,
pass the Word around: loaves abound!
2 Christ is able to make us one,
at his table he sets the tone,
teaching people to live to bless,
love in word and in deed express. [Refrain]
3 Jesus calls us in, sends us out
bearing fruit in a world of doubt,
gives us love to tell, bread to share:
God (Immanuel) everywhere! [Refrain] Scripture: Luke 10:1-9 Languages: English Tune Title: LINSTEAD

O Lord and Master of Us All
Author: J. G. Whittier Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #358 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Call and Response Lyrics: 1 O Lord and Master of us all,
whate’er our name or sign,
we own thy sway, we hear thy call,
we test our lives by Thine.
2 Thou judgest us; thy purity
doth all our lusts condemn;
the love that draws us nearer thee
is hot with wrath to them.
3 Yet weak and blinded though we be,
thou dost our service own;
we bring our varying gifts to thee,
and thou rejectest none.
4 Apart from thee all gain is loss,
all labor vainly done;
the solemn shadow of the cross
is better than the sun.
5 We faintly hear, we dimly see,
in diff'ring phrase we pray;
but, dim or clear, we own in thee
the Life, the Truth, the Way.
Scripture: Psalm 139:1 Languages: English Tune Title: CONTEMPLATION (Ouseley)

You That Know the Lord Is Gracious
Author: C. A. Alington Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #424 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Call and Response Lyrics: 1 You that know the Lord is gracious,
you for whom a cornerstone
stands, of God elect and precious,
laid that you may build thereon,
see that on that sure foundation
you a living temple raise,
towers that may tell forth salvatiton,
walls that may re-echo praise.
2 Living stones by God appointed
each to an allotted place,
kings and priests, by God anointed,
shall you not declare his grace?
You, a royal generation,
tell the tidings of your birth,
tidings of a new creation
to an old and weary earth.
3 Tell the praise of him who called you
out of darkness into light,
broke the fetters that enthralled you,
gave you freedom, peace, and sight:
tell the tale of sins forgiven,
strength renewed, and hope restored,
till the earth, in tune with heaven,
praise an magnify the Lord. Scripture: Isaiah 60:18 Languages: English Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH
You That Know the Lord Is Gracious
How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #433 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Topics: Call and Response 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 mark your saints, how they became
in hindrances more sure,
whose joyful virtues put to shame
the casual way we wear your name,
and by our faults obscure
your power 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.
Scripture: 1 John 5:3 Languages: English Tune Title: REPTON

Awake, My Soul, Stretch Every Nerve
Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #474 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Call and Response Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, stretch ev'ry nerve,
and press with vigor on;
a heav'nly race demands thy zeal,
and an immortal crown.
2 A cloud of witnesses around
hold thee in full survey;
forget the steps already trod
and onward urge your way.
3 'Tis God's all-animating voice
that calls thee from on high;
'tis his own hand presents the prize
to thine aspiring eye;
4 that prize, with peerless glories bright
which shall new lustre boast,
when victors' wreaths and monarch's gems
shall blend in common dust.
5 Blest Saviour, introduced by thee
have I my race begun,
and crowned with vict'ry, at thy feet
I'll lay my honors down.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9:24 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FULBERT

Dear God, Embracing Humankind
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #502 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Topics: Gospel Call and Response Lyrics: 1 Dear God, embracing human-kind,
forgive our foolish ways;
Reclothe us in our rightful mind,
in purer lives your service find,
in deeper reverence, praise.
2 In simple trust like theirs who heard,
beside the Syrian sea,
The gracious calling of your word,
let us, like them, be spirit stirred,
rise up and followers be.
3 O sabbath rest by Galilee!
O calm of hills above!
There Jesus met you prayerfully:
the silence of eternity,
interpreted by love.
4 Drop your 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 your peace.
5 Breathe through the pulses of desire
your coolness and your balm;
Let sense be numb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still, small voice of calm. Scripture: Mark 1:16-20 Languages: English Tune Title: REST

when once we heed your call:
to live according to your word,
and daily learn, refreshed, restored,
that you are over all
and will not let us fall.

your yoke is hard to bear,

in hindrances more sure,
whose joyful virtues put to shame
the casual way we wear your name,
and by our faults obscure
your power to cleanse and cure.
4 In what you give us, here, to do,
together or alone,
in old routines and ventures new,
may we not cease to look to you,
the cross you hung upon --
all you endeavoured done. Languages: English Tune Title: REPTON
