Our God, You Called to Moses
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #5 (2009) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Call/Vocation First Line: Our God, you called to Moses to set your people free Lyrics: Our God, you called to Moses to set your people free.
What wrongly some suppose is: He answered easily.
“I’m not the one you’re seeking!” he seemed instead to say.
“My strength is not in speaking; God, find another way!”
And yet, O Lord, you told him to trust in what you said.
Your strength would surely hold him through every day ahead.
Though many would oppose him, by your own name he’d know:
You were the one who chose him to help your people go.
You call each congregation to serve the lost and poor.
We doubt our own vocation; we ask, “Lord, are you sure?”
Yet you give gifts for sharing, you show us what to say.
Your Spirit gives us daring to serve Christ every day.

not through some merit, right, or claim,
but by your gracious love alone.

and humble us, and call us friends.
Suffer and serve till all are fed,

to work till all creation sings,
to fill all worlds, to crown all things.

your life to live, your joy to share.

no evil can our steps betide.
6 Teach us to know the Father, Son,
and you, of both, to be but one;
that through the ages all along
your praise may be our endless song.
7 Praise to your eternal merit,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

descend upon us from above;
with graces manifold restore
your creatures as they were before.
2 To you, the Comforter, we cry;
to you, the gift of God most high,
true fount of life, the fire of love,
the soul's anointing from above.
3 In you, with graces sevenfold,
we God's almighty hand behold;
while you with tongues of fire proclaim
to all the world God's holy name.
4 Your light to ev'ry sense impart,
and shed your love in ev'ry heart;
your own unfailing might supply
to strengthen our infirmity.
5 Keep far from us our cruel foe,
and peace from your own hand bestow;
upheld by you, our strength and guide,
no evil can our steps betide.
6 Teach us to know the Father, Son,
and you, of both, to be but one;
that through the ages all along
your praise may be our endless song.

Lord, You Give the Great Commission
Author: Jeffery Rowthorn, b. 1934 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #579 (2006) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Vocation, Ministry; Vocation, Ministry Lyrics: 1 Lord, you give the great commission:
"Heal the sick and preach the word."
Lest the church neglect its mission,
and the gospel go unheard,
help us witness to your purpose
with renewed integrity:
Refrain:
With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry.
2 Lord, you call us to your service:
"In my name baptize and teach."
That the world may trust your promise,
life abundant meant for each,
give us all new fervor, draw us
closer in community: [Refrain]
3 Lord, you make the common holy:
"This my body, this my blood."
Let us all, for earth's true glory,
daily lift life heavenward,
asking that the world around us
share your children's liberty: [Refrain]
4 Lord, you show us love's true measure:
"Father, what they do, forgive."
Yet we hoard as private treasure
all that you so freely give.
May your care and mercy lead us
to a just society: [Refrain]
5 Lord, you bless with words assuring:
"I am with you to the end."
Faith and hope and love restoring,
may we serve as you intend
and, amid the cares that claim us,
hold in mind eternity: [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH
