As a Mother Holds Her Baby
Author: John T. Hicks Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #659 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Christian Education and Nurture; Christian nurture Lyrics: 1 As a mother holds her baby,
gazing in her child's eyes
with a look of deep connection,
pond'ring still unbroken ties,
so God looks into our faces
with a gaze so close and calm,
holding us against the body
out of which our life has come.
2 As a mother feeds her baby,
with the milk from her own breast,
giving nourishment and nurture,
loving touch and calming rest,
so God feeds us through communion,
holy presence, blessed food,
loving touch of the Eternal;
hope and wonder are renewed.
3 As a mother feels the heart-beat
of her baby held so near,
and is moved to awe and laughter
at this infant life so dear,
so in Christ God feels our heart-beat,
enters in our joy and fear;
gives us brad and wine and mem'ry
that our vision may be clear.
4 As a mother looks with favor
on the new life in her arms,
searching ev'ry small expression,
sav'ring moments filled with charm,
so God smiles on ev'ry person,
so God takes such keen delight
in the praises that we offer;
we are precious in God's sight.
Scripture: 1 Samuel 1:21-28 Languages: English Tune Title: BEACH SPRING

The King of love my shepherd is
Author: Henry Williams Baker (1821-1877) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #462 (2005) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Nurture Lyrics: 1 The King of Love my Shepherd is,
whose goodness faileth never;
I nothing lack if I am his
and he is mine for ever.
2 Where streams of living water flow
my ransomed soul he leadeth,
and where the verdant pastures grow
with food celestial feedeth.
3 Perverse and foolish oft I strayed;
but yet in love he sought me,
and on his shoulder gently laid,
and home rejoicing brought me.
4 In death's dark vale I fear no ill,
with thee, dear Lord, beside me;
thy rod and staff my comfort still,
thy cross before to guide me.
5 Thou spread'st a table in my sight;
thy unction grace bestoweth;
and oh, what wonder and delight
from thy pure chalice floweth!
6 And so through all the length of days
thy goodness faileth never:
Good Shepherd, may I sing thy praise
within thy house for ever! Scripture: Psalm 23 Languages: English Tune Title: DOMINUS REGIT ME

O Jesus, Joy of Loving Hearts
Author: Ray Palmer Hymnal: Voices United #472 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Nurture Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, joy of loving hearts,
the fount of life, the light of all
from every bliss that earth imparts,
we turn, unfilled, to hear your call.
2 Your truth unchanged has ever stood;
you plead with all to call on you,
to those who seek you, you are good,
to those who find you, life is new.
3 We taste your ever-living bread,
and long to feast upon you still;
we drink of you, the fountainhead,
our thirsting souls from you we fill.
4 O Jesus, ever with us stay;
make all our moments calm and bright;
chase the bleak night of sin away;
shed o'er the world your holy light. Tune Title: MARYTON
O Jesus, Joy of Loving Hearts
Now Let Us from This Table Rise
Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: Voices United #483 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Nurture 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 give us grace, Companion-God,
to choose again the pilgrim way
and help us to accept with joy
the challenge of tomorrow's day. Languages: English Tune Title: NIAGARA
