Now Let Us from This Table Rise

Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 42 hymnals Topics: Service of the Table Post-Communion Songs Lyrics: 1 Now let us from this table rise renewed in body, mind, and soul; with Christ we die and live again, his selfless love has made us whole. 2 With minds alert, upheld by grace to spread the word in speech and deed, we follow in the steps of Christ, at one with all in hope and need. 3 To fill each human house with love, it is the sacrament of care; the work that Christ began to do we humbly pledge ourselves to share. 4 Then grant us courage, Father God, to choose again the pilgrim way, and help us to accept with joy the challenge of tomorrow's day.

Thee we would be always blessing, Serve thee as thy hosts above, Pray, and praise thee, without ceasing, Glory in thy perfect love. 4 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 heav'n we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

There's a wideness in God's mercy

Author: Frederick William Faber, 1814 - 63 Appears in 900 hymnals Topics: Post-Communion Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy, Like the wideness of the sea; There's a kindness in his justice, Which is more than liberty. There is no place where earth's sorrows Are more felt than up in heaven; There is no p'ace where earth's failings Have such kindly judgment given. 2 There is welcome for the sinner, And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Saviour; There is healing in his Blood, There is grace enough for thousands Of new worlds as great as this; There is room for fresh creations In that upper home of bliss. 3 For the love of God is broader Than the measures of man's mind, And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. There is plentiful redemption In the Blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head. 4 'Tis not all we owe to Jesus; It is something more than all; Greater good because of evil, Larger mercy through the fall. If our love were but more simple, We should take Him at his word; And our lives would be all sunshine In the sweetness of our Lord. Used With Tune: ARMSTRONG
