God Is Here! As We Your People Meet

Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #70 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Year A Proper 18 First Line: God is here! As we your people Lyrics: 1 God is here! As we your people, meet to offer praise and prayer, May we find in fuller measure what it is in Christ we share. Here, as in the world around us, all our varied skills and arts wait the coming of the Spirit into open minds and hearts. 2 Here are symbols to remind us of our lifelong need of grace; Here are table, font, and pulpit, here the cross has central place. Here in honesty of preaching, here in silence, as in speech, here, in newness and renewal, God the Spirit comes to each. 3 Here our children find a welcome in the Shepherd's flock and fold; Here as bread and wine are taken, Christ sustains us as of old. Here the servants of the Servant seek in worship to explore what it means in daily living to believe and to adore. 4 Sovereign God, of earth and heaven, in an age of change and doubt, Keep us faithful to the gospel, help us work your purpose out. Here, in this day's celebration, all we have to give, receive: we, who cannot live without you, we adore you! We believe! Languages: English Tune Title: ABOTT'S LEIGH

At the Cross Her Vigil Keeping

Author: Edward Caswall; Jacopone da Todi Hymnal: Voices United #139 (1996) Meter: 8.8.7 Topics: Proper 18 Year C Lyrics: 1 At the cross, her vigil keeping stood the mournful Mother weeping where he hung, the dying Lord; 2 through her soul of joy bereavèd, bowed with sorrow, deeply grievèd, passed the sharp and piercing sword. 3 Who upon that mother gazing, in her anguish so amazing, born of woman, would not weep? 4 Who, of Christ's dear Mother thinking while her son that cup is drinking, would not share her sorrow deep? 5 For his people's sins chastisèd she beheld her Son despisèd scourged, and crowned with thorns entwined, 6 saw him then from judgement taken, and in death by all forsaken, till his spirit he resigned. 7 Near your cross, O Christ, abiding, grief and love my heart dividing, I with her would take my place: 8 by your saving cross uphold me, in your dying, Christ, enfold me, with the deathless arms of grace.

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #224 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Year C Proper 18 Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross, on which the Christ of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, then, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ, my God; All the vain things that charm me most I sacrifice them to Christ's blood. 3 From sacred head, from hands, and feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down! Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.
