The Church of Christ in Every Age
Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #475 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: God's Church Mission and Witness Lyrics: 1 The church of Christ, in every age,
beset by change but Spirit-led,
must claim and test its heritage
and keep on rising from the dead.

the victims of injustice cry
for shelter and for bread to eat,
and never live until they die.

a caring church that longs to be
a partner in Christ's sacrifice,
and clothed in Christ's humanity.
4 For Christ alone, whose blood was shed,
can cure the fever in our blood,
and teach us how to share our bread
and feed the starving multitude.
5 We have no mission but to serve
in full obedience to our Lord:
to care for all, without reserve,
and spread Christ's liberating word. Languages: English Tune Title: WAREHAM

Peter Said, "I'm Going Fishing"
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Singing the New Testament #112 (2008) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Missions and Witness Lyrics: 1 Peter said, "I'm going fishing,"
so his friends went out with him.
Through the night, they labored, watching,
hauling empty nets back in.
In the grey of early morning,
Jesus, you came walking by.
From the beach you called a greeting,
"Cast out on the other side!"
2 Soon their nets were filled to brimming;
someone cried, "It is the Lord!"
Jumping in, he started swimming;
Christ, you met him on the shore.
Guiding them to better waters,
eating fish and sharing bread -
you showed Peter and the others:
You were risen from the dead!
3 Risen Christ, you send us fishing!
God's great sea is everywhere.
you have guided us in mission,
you have given love to share.
Through the years, our church has heard you,
we have answered your great call:
"Cast your nets where I have told you.
Bring my Word of love to all!"
4 Lord, be with our congregation;
by your Spirit, send us forth!
May we care for your creation;
may we work for peace on earth.
In our worship, in our giving,
in our serving those in need,
may we know, Lord; you are living,
guiding us in ministry.
