Great God, Your Love Has Called Us Here

Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 33 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great God, Your love has called us here As we, by love, for love were made. Your living likeness still we bear, Though marred, dishonored, disobeyed. We come, with all our heart and mind Your call to hear, Your love to find. 2 We come with self-inflicted pains Of broken trust and chosen wrong, Half-free, half-bound by inner chains, By social forces swept along, By powers and systems close confined, Yet seeking hope for humankind. 3 Great God, in Christ You call our name And then receive us as Your own, Not through some merit, right or claim, But by Your gracious love alone. We strain to glimpse your mercy seat And find You kneeling at our feet. 4 Then take the towel, and break the bread, And humble us, and call us friends. Suffer and serve till all are fed, And show how grandly love intends To work till all creation sings, To fill all worlds, to crown all things. 5 Great God, in Christ You set us free Your life to live, Your joy to share. Give us Your Spirit's liberty To turn from guilt and dull despair And offer all that faith can do While love is making all things new. Topics: God Works Used With Tune: DAS NEUGEBORNE KINDELEIN

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther; Frederick Henry Hedge Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 685 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing: For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe; His craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal. 2 Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing; Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God’s own choosing: Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; Lord Sabaoth, His Name, from age to age the same, And He must win the battle. 3 And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us, We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us: The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him; His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure, One little word shall fell him. 4 That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him Who with us sideth: Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; The body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still, His kingdom is forever.
