O Master, Let Me Walk with Thee
Author: Washington Gladden Hymnal: Voices United #560 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Proper 8 Year C Lyrics: 1 O Master, let me walk with thee
in lowly paths of service free;
tell me thy secret, help me bear
the strain of toil, the fret of care.
2 Help me the slow of heart to move
with some clear, winning word of love;
teach me the wayward feet to stay,
and guide them in the homeward way.
3 Teach me thy patience; still with thee ,
in closer, dearer company,
in work that keeps faith sure and strong,
in trust that triumphs over wrong,
4 in hope that sends a shining ray
far down the future's broadening way,
in peace that only thou canst give,
with thee, O Master, let me live. Languages: English Tune Title: MARYTON

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
Author: Frederick William Faber Hymnal: Voices United #271 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Proper 8 Year C Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy
like the wideness of the sea;
there's a kindness in God's justice
which is more than liberty.
2 There is no place where earth's sorrows
are more felt than up in heaven;
there is no place where earth's failings
have such gracious judgement given.
3 There is plentiful redemption
in the blood that Christ has shed;
there is joy for all the members
in the sorrows of the Head.
4 Troubled souls, why will you scatter
like a crowd of frightened sheep?
Foolish hearts, why will you wander
from a love so true and deep?
5 For the love of God is broader
than the measures of the mind,
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind. Tune Title: GOTT WILL'S MACHEN

with his Father's glory, with his angel train;
for all wreaths of empire meet upon his brow,

O Christ, the Healer, We Have Come
Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #175 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Year B Proper 8 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, the healer, we have come
to pray for health, to plead for friends.
How can we fail to be restored,
when reached by love that never ends?
2 From every ailment flesh endures
our bodies clamor to be freed.
Yet in our hearts we would confess
that wholeness is our deepest need.
3 In conflicts that destroy our health
we recognize the world's disease;
Our common life declares our ills.
Is there no cure, O Christ, for these?
4 Grant that we all, made one in faith,
in your community may find
The wholeness that, enriching us,
shall reach and prosper humankind. Scripture: Luke 7:1-10 Tune Title: KENTRIDGE

Immortal Love, Forever Full
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #166 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Year B Proper 8 Lyrics: 1 Immortal Love, forever full,
forever flowing free,
Forever shared, forever whole,
a never-ebbing sea!
2 Our outward lips confess the Name
all other names above;
love only knows from where it came
and comprehends God's love.
3 We may not climb the heavenly steeps
to bring the Sovereign down;
In vain we search the lowest deeps
for One no depths can drown.
4 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet
this One our help will be;
For faith has still its Olivet,
and love its Galilee.
5 The healing of Christ's seamless dress
still soothes our beds of pain;
We touch it in life's throng and press,
and we are whole again.
6 Through Christ our earliest prayers are said
with words we scarce can frame;
The last low whispers of our dead
still echo with Christ's name. Scripture: Philippians 2:9-11 Languages: English Tune Title: SERENITY
Immortal Love, Forever Full

There's a wideness in God's mercy
Author: F. W. Faber, 1814-1863 Hymnal: Common Praise #598a (2000) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Proper 8 Year B 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.
2 There is no place where earth's sorrows
are more felt than up in heaven;
there is no place where earth's failings
have such kindly judgement given.
3 For the love of God is broader
than the measure of man's mind;
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind.
4 But we make his love too narrow
by false limits of our own;
and we magnify his strictness
with a zeal he will not own.
5 There is plentiful redemption
in the blood that has been shed;
there is joy for all the members
in the sorrows of the Head.
6 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.
Descant:
If our love were but more simple,
we should take him at his word;
and our lives would be all gladness
in the joy of Christ our Lord. Scripture: Ephesians 1:7 Languages: English Tune Title: CORVEDALE
