Christ, you call us all to service
Author: Joy F. Patterson, 1931- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #585 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Sacraments and Ordinances Ordination / Commissioning Lyrics: 1 Christ, you call us all to service,
call us all who follow you;
plant in us a deep commitment
all your work and will to do.
Fire a passion for your justice,
in us kindle love of peace;
help us heal the broken-hearted;
to the captive bring release.
2 Teach us how to work together,
brother, sister, side by side,
equal partners in the struggle,
in the cause of truth allied.
To each one some gift is given–
man or woman, young or old;
help us use each skill and talent,
your great purpose to unfold.
3 Let us be a servant people,
reconciling, ending strife,
seeking ways more just of sharing
and of ordering human life.
Fill us with a glowing vision
of this world as it should be;
send us forth to change that vision
into blest reality. Scripture: Luke 4:18-19 Languages: English Tune Title: IN BABILONE

A prophet-woman broke a jar
Author: Brian A. Wren, 1936- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #588 (1997) Topics: Sacraments and Ordinances Ordination / Commissioning Lyrics: 1 A prophet-woman broke a jar
by Love’s divine appointing.
With rare perfume she filled the room,
presiding and anointing.
A prophet-woman broke a jar,
the sneers of scorn defying.
With rare perfume she filled the room,
preparing Christ for dying.
2 A faithful woman left a tomb
by Love’s divine commission.
She saw, she heard, she preached the Word,
arising from submission.
A faithful woman left a tomb,
with resurrection gospel;
she saw, she heard, she preached the Word,
apostle to apostles.
3 Though woman-wisdom, woman-truth,
for centuries were hidden,
unsung, unwritten and unheard,
derided and forbidden,
the Spirit’s breath, the Spirit’s fire,
on free and slave descending,
can tumble our dividing walls,
our shame and sadness mending.
4 The Spirit knows, the Spirit calls,
by Love’s divine ordaining,
the friends we need, to serve and lead,
their powers and gifts unchaining.
The Spirit knows, the Spirit calls,
from women, men and children,
the friends we need, to serve and lead.
Rejoice, and make them welcome! Scripture: Matthew 26:6-13 Languages: English Tune Title: MEGERRAN

God the Spirit, Guide and Guardian
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., 1944 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #589 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Sacraments and Ordinances Ordination / Commissioning Lyrics: 1 God the Spirit, Guide and Guardian,
wind-sped flame and hovering dove,
breath of life and voice of prophets,
sign of blessing, power of love:
give to those who lead your people
fresh anointing of your grace;
send them forth as bold apostles
to your Church in every place.
2 Christ our Saviour, Sovereign, Shepherd,
Word made flesh, Love crucified,
teacher, healer, suffering Servant,
friend of sinners, foe of pride:
in your tending may all pastors*
learn and live a Shepherd’s care:
grant them courage and compassion
shown through word and deed and prayer.
3 Great Creator, Life-bestower,
Truth beyond all thought’s recall,
fount of wisdom, womb of mercy,
giving and forgiving all:
as you know our strength and weakness,
so may those the Church exalts
oversee its life steadfastly
yet not overlook its faults.
4 Triune God, mysterious Being,
undivided and diverse,
deeper than our minds can fathom,
greater than our creeds rehearse:
help us in our varied callings
your full image to proclaim,
that our ministries uniting
may give glory to your Name.
*Note: teachers, etc. Scripture: Ephesians 4:4-16 Languages: English Tune Title: BETHANY (SMART)
