God Is Here!

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 47 hymnals First Line: God is here! As we your people Lyrics: 1 God is here! As we your people meet to offer praise and prayer, may we find in fuller measure what it is in Christ we share. Here, as in the world around us, all our varied skills and arts wait the coming of the Spirit into open minds and hearts. 2 Here are symbols to remind us of our lifelong need of grace; here are table, font, and pulpit; here the cross has central place. Here in honesty of preaching, here in silence, as in speech, here, in newness and renewal, God the Spirit comes to each. 3 Here our children find a welcome in the Shepherd's flock and fold; here as bread and wine are taken, Christ sustains us as of old. Here the servants of the Servant seek in worship to explore what it means in daily living to believe and to adore. 4 Lord of all, of church and kingdom, in an age of change and doubt keep us faithful to the gospel; help us work your purpose out. Here, in this day's dedication, all we have to give, receive: we, who cannot live without you, we adore you! We believe!

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 316 hymnals First Line: Here, O our Lord, we see you face to face Lyrics: 1 Here, O our Lord, we see you face to face. Here would we touch and handle things unseen, here grasp with firmer hand eternal grace, and all our weariness upon you lean. 2 Here would we feed upon the bread of God, here drink with you the royal cup of heaven; here would we lay aside each earthly load, and taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven. 3 This is the hour of banquet and of song; this is the heavenly table for us spread. Here let us feast and, feasting, still prolong the fellowship of living wine and bread. 4 Too soon we rise; the symbols disappear. The feast, though not the love, is past and gone; the bread and wine remove, but you are here, nearer than ever, still our shield and sun. 5 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by, yet, passing, points to that glad feast above, giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, the Lamb's great bridal feast of bliss and love.
