forgive our foolish ways!
Reclothe us in our rightful mind,
in purer lives thy service find,
in deeper reverence, praise.
2 In simple trust like theirs who heard,
beside the Syrian sea,
the gracious calling of the Lord,
let us, like them, without a word,
rise up and follow thee.
3 O sabbath rest by Galilee!
O calm of hills above,
where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity,
interpreted by love!
4 Drop thy still dews of quietness,
till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace.
5 Breathe through the heats of our desire
thy coolness and thy balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still, small voice of calm.

we whisper life's great question.
The ebb and flow of space and time
surpass our small perception.
Yet knowledge grows with joyful gains
and finds out wonders far more strange

its worth is past conceiving.

Strong is God's love for us, Alleluia.
R
We know that all things work together for good
for those who love God,
who are called according to God's purpose.
What then are we to say about these things?
If God is for us, who is against us?
God, who did not withhold God's own Son,
but gave him up for all of us--
will God not also give us all things with him?
Who will separate us from the love of Christ?
Will hardship, or distress,
or persecution, or famine,
or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors
through him who loved us.
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor rulers,
nor things present, nor things to come,
nor powers, nor height, nor depth,
nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate us from the love of God
in Christ Jesus our Lord. R Scripture: Romans 8:28-39 Languages: English Tune Title: [GOD IS FOR US]

Come and Find the Quiet Center
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #575 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Life of Discipleship Prayer and Guidance; God's Church Life of Discipleship: Prayer and Guidance Lyrics: 1 Come and find the quiet center
in the crowded life we lead,
find the room for hope to enter,
find the frame where we are freed:
clear the chaos and the clutter,
clear our eyes, that we can see
all the things that really matter,
be at peace, and simply be.
2 Silence is a friend who claims us,
cools the heat and slows the pace,
God it is who speaks and names us,
knows our being, touches base,
making space within our thinking,
lifting shades to show the sun,
raising courage when we're shrinking,
finding scope for faith begun.
3 In the Spirit let us travel,
open to each other's pain,
let our loves and fears unravel,
celebrate the space we gain:
there's a place for deepest dreaming,
there's a time for heart to care,
in the Spirit's lively scheming
there is always room to spare! Languages: English Tune Title: BEACH SPRING

When Our Confidence Is Shaken
Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #534 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Life of Discipleship Faith and Hope; God's Church Life of Discipleship: Faith and Hope Lyrics: 1 When our confidence is shaken
in beliefs we thought secure,
when the spirit in its sickness
seeks but cannot find a cure,
God is active in the tensions
of a faith not yet mature.
2 Solar systems, void of meaning,
freeze the spirit into stone;
always our researches lead us
to the ultimate unknown.
Faith must die, or come full circle
to its source in God alone.
3 In the discipline of praying,
when it's hardest to believe;
in the drudgery of caring,
when it's not enough to grieve;
faith, maturing, learns acceptance
of the insights we receive.
4 God is love, and thus redeems us
in the Christ we crucify;
this is God's eternal answer
to the world's eternal why.
May we in this faith maturing
be content to live and die! Languages: English Tune Title: LAUDA ANIMA

spend much time in secret
with Jesus alone.
By looking to Jesus,
like him thou shalt be;
thy friends in thy conduct
his likeness shall see.

let him be thy guide,
and run not before him,
whatever betide;
in joy or in sorrow,
still follow the Lord,
and, looking to Jesus,
still trust in his word.

be calm in thy soul,
each thought and each motive
beneath his control;
thus led by his spirit
to fountains of love,
thou soon shalt be fitted
for service above. Languages: English Tune Title: HOLINESS
