Praise waits for thee in Zion
Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise waits for thee in Zion;
all men shall worship there
And pay their vows before thee,
O God who hearest prayer.
Our sins rise up against us,
prevailing day by day,
But thou wilt show us mercy
and take their guilt away.
2 How blest the man thou callest
and bringest near to thee,
That in thy courts for ever
his dwelling place may be;
He shall within thy temple
be satisfied with grace,
And filled with all the goodness
of thy most holy place.
3 O God of our salvation,
since thou dost love the right,
Thou wilt an answer send us
in wondrous deeds of might.
In all earth's habitations,
on all the boundless sea,
Man finds no sure reliance,
no peace, apart from thee.
Amen. Topics: Calling; The Church The Lord's House Scripture: Psalm 65:1-5 Used With Tune: NYLAND Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

O God of Every Nation
Author: William Watkins Reid Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God of every nation,
of every race and land,
redeem the whole creation
with your almighty hand;
where hate and fear divide us
and bitter threats are hurled,
in love and mercy guide us
and heal our strife-torn world.
2 From search for wealth and power
and scorn of truth and right,
from trust in bombs that shower
destruction through the night,
from pride of race and nation
and blindness to your way,
deliver every nation,
eternal God, we pray.
3 Keep bright in us the vision
of days when war shall cease,
when hatred and division
give way to love and peace,
till dawns the morning glorious
when truth and justice reign
and Christ shall rule victorious
o'er all the world's domain. Topics: God's World Peace on Earth; God's World Peace on Earth; Peace on Earth; Penitence Used With Tune: NYLAND

Help Us Accept Each Other
Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Help us accept each other as Christ accepted us;
teach us as sister, brother each person to embrace.
Be present, Lord, among us and bring us to believe
We are ourselves accepted, and meant to love and live.
2 Teach us, O Lord, your lessons, as in our daily life
we struggle to be human and search for hope and faith.
Teach us to care for people, for all, not just for some,
to love them as we find them, or as they may become.
3 Let your acceptance change us, so that we may be moved
in living situations to do the truth in love,
to practice your acceptance until we know by heart
the table of forgiveness, and laughter's healing art.
4 Lord, for today's encounters with all who are in need,
who hunger for acceptance, for righteousness and bread,
we need new eyes for seeing, new hands for holding on;
renew us with your Spirit, Lord, free us, make us one! Topics: Family and Relationships; Home; Hope; Race Relations; Reconciliation to Each Other; Social Justice; Unity and Fellowship; Unity of the Church Scripture: John 15:12 Used With Tune: NYLAND

Facing a Task Unfinished
Author: Frank Houghton Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Facing a task unfinished
that drives us to our knees,
a need that, undiminished,
rebukes our slothful ease,
we who rejoice to know you
renew before your throne
the solemn pledge we owe you
to go and make you known.
2 Where other lords beside you
hold their unhindered sway,
where forces that defied you
defy you still today,
with none to heed their crying
for life and love and light,
unnumbered souls are dying
and pass into the night.
3 We bear the torch that flaming
fell from the hands of those
who gave their lives proclaiming
that Jesus died and rose;
ours is the same commission,
the same glad message ours;
fired by the same ambition,
to you we yield our pow'rs.
4 O Father, who sustained them,
O Spirit, who inspired,
Savior, whose love constrained them
to toil with zeal untired,
from cowardice defend us,
from lethargy awake!
Forth on your errands send us
to labor for your sake. Topics: Spread of the Gospel; Christian warfare; Commitment; Deliverance; Martyrs; Sin; Spread of the Gospel Scripture: Matthew 10 Used With Tune: NYLAND

O Star of Truth
Author: Minot Judson Savage, 1841-1918 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 23 hymnals First Line: O star of truth, downshining Lyrics: 1 O star of truth, down-shining,
through clouds of doubt and fear,
I ask beneath thy guidance
my pathway may appear:
however long the journey,
however hard it be,
though I be lone and weary,
lead on, I follow thee.
2 I know thy blessed radiance
can never lead astray,
though ancient creed and custom
may point another way;
or through the untrod desert,
or over trackless sea,
though I be lone and weary,
lead on, I follow thee.

We come as guests invited
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, 1926- Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We come as guests invited
when Jesus bids us dine,
his friends on earth united
to share the bread and wine;
the bread of life is broken,
the wine is freely poured
for us, in solemn token
of Christ our dying Lord.
2 We eat and drink, receiving
from Christ the grace we need,
and in our hearts believing
on him by faith we feed;
with wonder and thanksgiving
for love that knows no end,
we find in Jesus living
our ever-present friend.
3 One bread is ours for sharing,
one single fruitful vine,
our fellowship declaring
renewed in bread and wine
renewed, sustained and given
by token, sign and word,
the pledge and seal of heaven,
the love of Christ our Lord. Topics: Jesus Christ Love of; Jesus Christ Friend; Jesus Christ Bread of Life; Renewal / Revival; Sacraments and Ordinances Communion Scripture: Matthew 26:26-29 Used With Tune: NYLAND
