Bow Down Your Ear, Almighty Lord

Author: T. E. Powell, 1823-1901 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #286 (1978) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Pastors; Commemorations and Accoasions Pastors and Bishops; Pastors Lyrics: 1 Bow down your ear, almighty Lord, And hear your Church’s suppliant cry For all who preach your saving Word And serve you in their ministry. 2 In mercy, Father, now give heed, And pour your quick'ning Spirit’s breath On those whom you have called to feed Your flock redeemed by Jesus’ death. 3 O Savior, from your pierced hand Shed on them all your gifts divine, That those who in your presence stand May form their lives to your design. 4 Blest Spirit, in their hearts abide And give them grace to watch and pray, That as they seek your flock to guide, They too may keep the narrow way. 5 O God, your strength and mercy send To shield them in their strife with sin. Grant them, enduring to the end, The crown of life at last to win. Languages: English Tune Title: HERR JESU CHRIST, MEINS

Great God, Your Love Has Called Us

Author: Brian A. Wren, b. 1936 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #358 (2006) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Pastors; Pastors First Line: Great God, your love has called us here Lyrics: 1 Great God, your love has called us here, as we, by love, for love were made. Your living likeness still we bear, though marred, dishonored, disobeyed. We come, with all our heart and mind your call to hear, your love to find. 2 We come with self-inflicted pains of broken trust and chosen wrong, half-free, half-bound by inner chains, by social forces swept along, by pow'rs and systems close confined, yet seeking hope for humankind. 3 Great God, in Christ you call our name and then receive us as your own, not through some merit, right, or claim, but by your gracious love alone. We strain to glimpse your mercy seat and find you kneeling at our feet. 4 Then take the towel, and break the bread, and humble us, and call us friends. Suffer and serve till all are fed, and show how grandly love intends to work till all creation sings, to fill all worlds, to crown all things. 5 Great God, in Christ you set us free your life to live, your joy to share. Give us your Spirit's liberty to turn from guilt and dull despair, and offer all that faith can do while love is making all things new. Languages: English Tune Title: RYBURN

God Is Here!

Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #526 (2006) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Pastors; Pastors 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 Lord of all, of church and kingdom, in an age of change and doubt, keep us faithful to the gospel; help us work your purpose out. Here, in this day's dedication, all we have to give, receive; we, who cannot live without you, we adore you! We believe! Languages: English Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH
