Lord, You Give the Great Commission
Author: Jeffery W. Rowthorn Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 43 hymnals Topics: The Church at Worship Profession of Faith, Ordination, Commissioning, Installation; Commissioning; Service Music Sending Forth/Commissioning Lyrics: 1 Lord, you give the great commission:
"Heal the sick and preach the word."
Lest the church neglect its mission
and the gospel go unheard,
help us witness to your purpose
with renewed integrity:
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry.
2 Lord, you call us to your service:
"In my name baptize and teach."
That the world may trust your promise,
life abundant meant for each,
give us all new fervour, draw us
closer in community:
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry.
3 Lord, you make the common holy:
"This my body, this my blood."
Let us all, for earth's true glory,
daily lift life heavenward,
asking that the world around us
share your children's liberty:
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry.
4 Lord, you show us love's true measure:
"Father, what they do, forgive."
Yet we hoard as private treasure
all that you so freely give.
May your care and mercy lead us
to a just society:
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry.
5 Lord, you bless with words assuring:
"I am with you to the end."
Faith and hope and love restoring,
may we serve as you intend,
and, amid the cares that claim us,
hold in mind eternity:
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry. Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH

joy of heaven, to earth come down,
fix in us thy humble dwelling,
all thy faithful mercies crown:
Jesus, thou art all compassion,
pure unbounded love thou art;
visit us with thy salvation;
enter every trembling heart.

let us all thy life receive;
suddenly return, and never,
never more thy temples leave:
thee we would be always blessing,
serve thee as thy hosts above,
pray, and praise thee, without ceasing,
glory in thy perfect love.
3 Finish then thy new creation,
pure and spotless let us be,
let us see thy great salvation,
perfectly restored in thee:
changed from glory into glory,
till in heaven we take our place,
till we cast our crowns before thee,
lost in wonder, love and praise. Scripture: 1 John 4:7-8 Used With Tune: LOVE DIVINE

We All Are One in Mission
Author: Rusty Edwards Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Commissioning Lyrics: 1 We all are one in mission,
we all are one in call,
our varied gifts united
by Christ, the Lord of all.
A single, great commission
compels us from above
to plan and work together
that all may know Christ's love.
2 We all are called for service
to witness in God's name.
Our ministries are diff'rent,
our purpose is the same:
to touch the lives of others
by God's surprising grace
so ev'ry folk and nation
may feel God's warm embrace.
3 We all behold one vision,
a stark reality:
the author of salvation
was nailed upon a tree.
Yet resurrected justice
gives rise that we may share
free reconciliation
and hope amid despair.
4 Now let us be united
and let our song be heard.
Now let us be a vessel
for God's redeeming word.
We all are one in mission,
we all are one in call,
our varied gifts united
by Christ, the Lord of all. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12 Used With Tune: ACCORD
We All Are One in Mission
