StF 59

  1. Lord, the light of your love is shining,
    in the midst of the darkness, shining:
    Jesus, Light of the world, shine upon us;
    set us free by the truth you now bring us —
    shine on me, shine on me.

Shine, Jesus, shine,
fill this land with the Father's glory;
blaze, Spirit, blaze,
set our hearts on fire.
Flow, river, flow,
flood the nations with grace and mercy;
send forth your word,
Lord, and let there be light!

  1. Lord, I come to your awesome presence,
    from the shadows into your radiance;
    by your blood I may enter your brightness:
    search me, try me, consume all my darkness —
    shine on me, shine on me.
  1. As we gaze on your kingly brightness
    so our faces display your likeness,
    ever changing from glory to glory:
    mirrored here, may our lives tell your story —
    shine on me, shine on me.

  1. Jesus, be the centre,
    be my source, be my light,
    Jesus.
  1. Jesus, be the centre,
    be my hope, be my song,
    Jesus.

Be the fire in my heart,
be the wind in these sails;
be the reason that I live,
Jesus, Jesus.

  1. Jesus, be my vision,
    be my path, be my guide,
    Jesus.

StF 495

  1. Dear Lord and Father of mankind
    forgive our foolish ways;
    reclothe us in our rightful mind;
    in purer lives thy service find,
    in deeper reverence, praise.
  1. 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.
  1. O sabbath rest by Galilee!
    O calm of hills above,
    where Jesus knelt to share with thee
    the silence of eternity,
    interpreted by love!
  1. With that deep hush subduing all
    our words and works that drown
    the tender whisper of thy call,
    as noiseless let thy blessing fall
    as fell thy manna down.
  1. 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.
  1. 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!

John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

StF 250

  1. Jesus calls us!  O'er the tumult
    of our life's wild restless sea,
    day by day his voice is sounding,
    saying: ‘Christian, follow me.’
  1. As of old apostles heard it
    by the Galilean lake,
    turned from home and toil and kindred,
    leaving all for his dear sake.
  1. Jesus calls us from the worship
    of the vain world's golden store,
    from each idol that would keep us,
    saying: ‘Christian, love me more.’
  1. In our joys and in our sorrows,
    days of toil and hours of ease,
    still he calls, in cares and pleasures:
    ‘Christian, love me more than these.’
  1. Jesus calls us!  By your mercies,
    Saviour, may we hear your call,
    give our hearts to your obedience,
    serve and love you best of all.

Cecil Frances Alexander (1818–1895)

StF 676

  1. Christ, from whom all blessings flow,
    perfecting the saints below,
    hear us, who thy nature share,
    who thy mystic body are.
  1. Join us, in one spirit join,
    let us still receive of thine;
    still for more on thee we call,
    thou who fillest all in all.
  1. Closer knit to thee, our Head,
    nourished, Lord, by thee, and fed,
    let us daily growth receive,
    more in Jesus Christ believe,
  1. Never from thy service move,
    needful to each other prove,
    use the grace on each bestowed,
    tempered by the art of God.
  1. Love, like death, has all destroyed,
    rendered all distinctions void;
    names, and sects, and parties fall:
    thou, O Christ, art all in all.

Charles Wesley (1707–1788)

  1. Come, let us join our cheerful songs
    with angels round the throne;
    ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
    but all their joys are one.
  1. ‘Worthy the Lamb that died,’ they cry,
    ‘to be exalted thus!’
    ‘Worthy the Lamb!’ our lips reply,
    ‘for he was slain for us.’
  1. Jesus is worthy to receive
    honour and power divine;

    be, Lord, for ever thine.

    to bless the sacred name
    of him that sits upon the throne,
    and to adore the Lamb.

Isaac Watts (1674–1748)

StF 407

  1. Hear the call of the kingdom,
    lift your eyes to the King;
    let his song rise within you
    as a fragrant offering
    of how God, rich in mercy,
    came in Christ to redeem
    all who trust in his unfailing grace.
  1. Hear the call of the kingdom
    to be children of light
    with the mercy of heaven,
    the humility of Christ;
    walking justly before him,
    loving all that is right,
    that the life of Christ may shine through us.

King of heaven, we will answer the call.
We will follow, bringing hope to the world,
filled with passion, filled with power to proclaim
salvation in Jesus' name.

  1. Hear the call of the kingdom
    to reach out to the lost
    with the Father's compassion
    in the wonder of the cross,
    bringing peace and forgiveness,
    and a hope yet to come:
    let the nations put their trust in him.

Behold the Lamb of God, behold the Lamb of God.
He takes away the sin, the sin of the world.

StF 662

  1. Have you heard God’s voice; has your heart been stirred?
    Are you still prepared to follow?
    Have you made a choice to remain and serve,
    though the way be rough and narrow?

Will you walk the path that will cost you much
and embrace the pain and sorrow?
Will you trust in One who entrusts to you
the disciples of tomorrow?

  1. Will you use your voice; will you not sit down
    when the multitudes are silent?
    Will you make a choice to stand your ground
    when the crowds are turning violent?
  1. In your city streets will you be God’s heart?
    Will you listen to the voiceless?
    Will you stop and eat, and when friendships start,
    will you share your faith with the faithless?
  1. Will you watch the news with the eyes of faith
    and believe it could be different?
    Will you share your views using words of grace?
    Will you leave a thoughtful imprint?

We will walk the path that will cost us much
and embrace the pain and sorrow.
We will trust in One who entrusts to us
the disciples of tomorrow.

StF 351

  1. In Christ alone my hope is found,
    he is my light, my strength, my song;
    this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
    firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
    What heights of love, what depths of peace,
    when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
    My Comforter, my All in All,
    here in the love of Christ I stand.
  1. In Christ alone! — who took on flesh,
    fullness of God in helpless babe!
    This gift of love and righteousness,
    scorned by the ones he came to save:
    till on that cross as Jesus died,
    the wrath of God was satisfied
    for every sin on him was laid;
    here in the death of Christ I live.
  1. There in the ground his body lay,
    light of the world by darkness slain:
    then bursting forth in glorious Day
    up from the grave he rose again!
    And as he stands in victory,
    sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
    for I am his and he is mine —
    bought with the precious blood of Christ.
  1. No guilt in life, no fear in death,
    this is the power of Christ in me;
    from life's first cry to final breath,
    Jesus commands my destiny.
    No power of hell, no scheme of man,
    can ever pluck me from his hand;
    till he returns or calls me home,
    here in the power of Christ I'll stand!

StF 109

  1. In the darkness of the still night,
    in the dawning of the daylight,
    in the mystery of creation,
    Creator God, you are there.
    In the breath of every being,
    in the birthing and the growing,
    in the earth and all its fullness,
    Creator God, you are there.
  1. In the homeless and the hungry,
    in the broken and the lonely,
    in the grieving of your people,
    Creator God, you are there.
    In the tears and in the heartache,
    in the love through which we serve you,
    in the anguish of the dying,
    Creator God, you are there.
  1. In our hearts and in our thinking,
    in the longing and the dreaming,
    in the yearning of our heartbeat,
    Creator God, you are there.
    In the love for one another,
    in the sharing of our being,
    in receiving and forgiving,
    Creator God, you are there.
  1. In our joys, our hopes, our healing,
    in awakening to revealing,
    in your call and our responding,
    Creator God, you are there.
    In our prayer and in our service,
    in our praise and in our worship,
    in your love that is eternal,
    Creator God, you are there.

StF 362

  1. Meekness and majesty,
    manhood and deity,
    in perfect harmony —
    the man who is God.
    Lord of eternity,
    dwells in humanity,
    kneels in humility
    and washes our feet.

Oh, what a mystery —
meekness and majesty:
bow down and worship,
for this is your God,
this is your God!

  1. Father’s pure radiance,
    perfect in innocence,
    yet learns obedience
    to death on a cross:
    suffering to give us life,
    conquering through sacrifice —
    and as they crucify,
    prays, ‘Father forgive.’
  1. Wisdom unsearchable,
    God the invisible,
    love indestructible
    in frailty appears:
    Lord of infinity,
    stooping so tenderly,
    lifts our humanity
    to the heights of his throne.

StF 376

  1. Crashing waters at creation,
    ordered by the Spirit’s breath,
    first to witness day’s beginning
    from the brightness of night’s death.
  1. Parting water stood and trembled
    as the captives passed on through,
    washing off the chains of bondage —
    channel to a life made new.
  1. Cleansing water once at Jordan
    closed around the one foretold,
    opened to reveal the glory
    ever new and ever old.
  1. Living water, never ending,
    quench the thirst and flood the soul.
    Wellspring, Source of life eternal,
    drench our dryness, make us whole.

StF 369

  1. Baptise us with your Spirit,
    majestic, humble Christ,
    to overcome temptation;
    assailed, but not enticed.
    Baptise us with your Spirit,
    that in each other's eyes
    we may discern your purpose,
    and cast away disguise.
  1. Baptise us with your Spirit
    to careful, patient, thought,
    and habit-forming virtues
    aspired to, copied, taught,
    till clothed with new creation,
    self-critical, reformed,
    we demonstrate the gospel,
    to you alone conformed.
  1. Baptise us with your Spirit
    in unrestricted ways
    that move us, mind and body,
    to laugh and shout your praise.
    Send us to clear the rubble
    of each defensive wall,
    inviting to your table
    our neighbours, one and all.

StF 556

  1. Just as I am, without one plea
    but that you died to set me free,
    and at your bidding, ‘Come to me!’
    O Lamb of God, I come!
  1. Just as I am, though tossed about
    with many a conflict, many a doubt,
    fightings within and fears without,
    O Lamb of God, I come!
  1. Just as I am, you will receive,
    will welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve:
    because your promise I believe,
    O Lamb of God, I come!
  1. Just as I am — your love unknown
    has broken every barrier down —
    now to be yours, yes, yours alone,
    O Lamb of God, I come!
  1. Just as I am, of that free love
    the breadth, length, depth and height to prove,
    here for a time and then above,
    O Lamb of God, I come!
