1. Jesus calls us here to meet him
   as, through word and song and prayer,
   we affirm God's promised presence
   where his people live and care.
   Praise the God who keeps his promise;
   praise the Son who calls us friends;
   praise the Spirit who, among us,
   to our hopes and fears attends.

2. Jesus calls us to confess him
   Word of life and Lord of all,
   sharer of our flesh and frailness,
   saving all who fail or fall.
   Tell his holy human story;
   tell his tales that all may hear;
   tell the world that Christ in glory
   came to earth to meet us here.

3. Jesus calls us to each other,
   vastly different though we are;
   creed and colour, class and gender
   neither limit nor debar.
   Join the hand of friend and stranger;
   join the hands of age and youth;
   join the faithful and the doubter
   in their common search for truth.

1. As water to the thirsty,
   as beauty to the eyes,
   as strength that follows weakness,
   as truth instead of lies,
   as songtime and springtime
   and summertime to be,
   so is my Lord,
   my living Lord,
   so is my Lord to me.

2. Like calm in place of clamour,
   like peace that follows pain,
   like meeting after parting,
   like sunshine after rain,
   like moonlight and starlight
   and sunlight on the sea,
   so is my Lord,
   my living Lord,
   so is my Lord to me.

3. As sleep that follows fever,
   as gold instead of grey,
   as freedom after bondage,
   as sunrise to the day,
   as home to the traveller
   and all we long to see,
   so is my Lord,
   my living Lord,
   so is my Lord to me.

Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926)

1. Beyond these walls of worship
   in the stress and joy of life,
   can we offer you our bodies
   as a living sacrifice?
   Will we keep you at the centre
   far beyond the Sunday call?
   Will we turn to you,
   be transformed by you;
   still declare you God of all?

2. Beyond these walls of worship,
   in the times of work and rest,
   will we display your love for all
   when our faith’s put to the test?
   When the people that surround us
   deny that you are there,
   will we display our faith in you —
   in life, in praise, in prayer?

3. Beyond these walls of worship
   may your Spirit strengthen us
   to make the whole of life our worship
   as we witness to your love.
   From this hour in your presence
   send us out now to proclaim
   that we'll live our life as a sacrifice
   to the glory of your name.

1. In the wonder of creation,
   when all nature shares one song,
   showing God’s imagination,
   all may see his love goes on.
   Through the Holy Story spoken,
   of God’s people called as one,
   gathered, exiled, saved and broken,
   this we learn: his love goes on.

2. In the Christ who died to save us;
   in God’s risen, living Son;
   through the Spirit, whom he gave us;
   this we know: his love goes on.
   In the telling of the gospel
   Matthew, Mark and Luke and John
   join the Church in testifying
   through the years: his love goes on.

3. From the perfect days of gladness
   when the sun has brightly shone,
   to the slog of working madness,
   all the while his love goes on.
   Through the times of harsh temptation,
   seeking strength but finding none,
   in our human desperation,
   mercy comes: his love goes on.

4. In the joys of celebration,
   of new birth or victory won,
   in the deep peace of salvation,
   tell the world his love goes on!
   Through the dark days of depression,
   when all sign of faith is gone,
   hope may find no fresh expression,
   but we trust his love goes on.

5. Through the hopes of our tomorrows,
   and the things we’ve left undone —
   future joys and present sorrows —
   through all time, his love goes on.
   In our Kingdom-shaped endeavour,
   when God’s glorious work is done,
   to the promise of forever,
   God is here: his love goes on.

1. Lord, you sometimes speak in wonders,
   unmistakable and clear,
   mighty signs to prove your presence,
   overcoming doubt and fear.
   O Lord, you sometimes speak in wonders.

2. Lord, you sometimes speak in whispers,
   still and small and scarcely heard;
   only those who want to listen
   catch the all-important word.
   O Lord, you sometimes speak in whispers.

3. Lord, you sometimes speak in silence,
   through our loud and noisy day;
   we can know and trust you better
   when we quietly wait and pray.
   O Lord, you sometimes speak in silence.

4. Lord, you often speak in Scripture,
   words that summon from the page,
   shown and taught us by your Spirit
   with fresh light for every age.
   O Lord, you often speak in Scripture.

5. Lord, you always speak in Jesus,
   always new yet still the same:
   teach us now more of our Saviour,
   make our lives display his Name.
   O Lord, you always speak in Jesus.

Christopher Idle (b. 1938)

1. Take my life, and let it be
   consecrated, Lord, to thee;
   take my moments and my days,
   let them flow in ceaseless praise.

2. Take my hands, and let them move
   at the impulse of thy love;
   take my feet, and let them be
   swift and beautiful for thee.

3. Take my voice, and let me sing
   always, only, for my King;
   take my lips, and let them be
   filled with messages from thee.

4. Take my silver and my gold,
   not a mite would I withhold;
   take my intellect, and use
   every power as thou shalt choose.

5. Take my will, and make it thine;
   it shall be no longer mine;
   take my heart — it is thine own;
   it shall be thy royal throne.

6. Take my love; my Lord, I pour
   at thy feet its treasure-store;
   take myself, and I will be
   ever, only, all for thee.

Frances Ridley Havergal (1836–1879)

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.

2. 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.

3. O sabbath rest by Galilee!
   O calm of hills above,
   where Jesus knelt to share with thee
   the silence of eternity,
   interpreted by love!

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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)

1. May the mind of Christ my Saviour
   live in me from day to day,
   by his love and power controlling
   all I do or say.

2. May the word of God dwell richly
   in my heart from hour to hour,
   so that all may see I triumph
   only through his power.

3. May the peace of God my Father
   rule my life in everything,
   that I may be calm to comfort
   sick and sorrowing.

4. May the love of Jesus fill me,
   as the waters fill the sea;
   him exalting, self forgetting —
   this is victory.

5. May I run the race before me,
   strong and brave to face the foe,
   looking only unto Jesus
   as I onward go.

Katie Barclay Wilkinson (1859–1928)

1. At the name of Jesus
   every knee shall bow,
   every tongue confess him
   King of Glory now.
   'Tis the Father's pleasure
   we should call him Lord,
   who from the beginning
   was the mighty Word.

2. Humbled for a season,
   to receive a name
   from the lips of sinners
   unto whom he came,
   faithfully he bore it
   spotless to the last,
   brought it back victorious
   when from death he passed:

3. Bore it up triumphant
   with its human light,
   through all ranks of creatures
   to the central height,
   to the throne of Godhead,
   to the Father's breast;
   filled it with the glory
   of that perfect rest.

4. In your hearts enthrone him;
   there let him subdue
   all that is not holy,
   all that is not true;
   crown him as your captain
   in temptation's hour:
   let his will enfold you
   in its light and power.

5. For this same Lord Jesus
   shall return again,
   with his Father's glory,
   with his angel train;
   all the wreaths of empire
   meet upon his brow,
   and our hearts confess him
   King of Glory now.

Caroline Maria Noel (1817–1877)

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!

2. 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.’

3. 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.
