Glorious things of thee are spoken
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,292 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
he whose word cannot be broken
formed thee for his own abode;
on the Rock of Ages founded,
what can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
thou may'st smile at all thy foes.
2 See! the streams of living waters,
springing from eternal love,
well supply thy sons and daughters
and all fear of want remove.
Who can faint, when such a river
ever will their thirst assuage?
Grace which, like the Lord, the giver,
never fails from age to age.
3 Round each habitation hovering,
see the cloud and fire appear
for a glory and a covering,
showing that the Lord is near.
Thus deriving from their banner,
light by night, and shade by day,
safe they feed upon the manna
which he gives them when they pray.
4 Blest inhabitants of Zion,
washed in the Redeemer's blood!
Jesus, whom their souls rely on,
makes them kings and priests to God.
'Tis his love his people raises
over self to reign as kings:
and as priests, his solemn praises
each for a thank-offering brings.

Lord, You Give the Great Commission
Author: Jeffery Rowthorn Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, you give the great commission:
"Heal the sick and preach the Word."
Lest the church neglect its mission
and the gospel go unheard,
help us witness to your purpose
with renewed integrity;
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry.
2 Lord, you call us to your service:
"In my name baptize and teach."
That the world may trust your promise -
life abundant meant for each -
give us all new fervor, draw us
closer in community;
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry.
3 Lord, you make the common holy:
"This my body, this my blood."
Let us all, for earth's true glory,
daily lift life heavenward,
asking that the world around us
share your children's liberty;
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry.
4 Lord, you show us love's true measure:
"Father, what they do, forgive."
Yet we hoard as private treasure
all that you so freely give.
May your care and mercy lead us
to a just society;
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry.
5 Lord, you bless with words assuring:
"I am with you to the end."
Faith and hope and love restoring,
may we serve as you intend,
and, amid the cares that claim us,
hold in mind eternity;
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry. Topics: Spread of the Gospel; Christian Service; Commissioning; Gifts of the Spirit; Justice; Ministry; Spread of the Gospel; Spread of the Gospel Scripture: Matthew 28:16-20 Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH

Church of God, Elect and Glorious
Author: James E. Seddon, 1915-1983 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Church of God, elect and glorious,
Holy nation, chosen race;
Called as God’s own special people,
Royal priests and heirs of grace:
Know the purpose of your calling.
Show to all his mighty deeds;
Tell of love that knows no limits,
Grace that meets all human needs.
2 God has called you out of darkness
Into his most marv’lous light,
Brought his truth to life within you,
Turned your blindness into sight.
Let your light so shine around you
That God’s name is glorified
And all find fresh hope and purpose
In Christ Jesus crucified.
3 Once you were an alien people,
Strangers to God’s heart of love;
But he brought you home in mercy,
Citizens of heav’n above.
Let his love flow out to others;
Let them feel a Father’s care;
That they too may know his welcome
And his countless blessings share.
4 Church of God, elect and holy,
Be the people he intends;
Strong in faith and swift to answer
Each command your master sends:
Royal priests, fulfill your calling
Through your sacrifice and prayer;
Give your lives in joyful service—
Sing his praise, his love declare. Topics: Church Used With Tune: ABBOT’S LEIGH

Christ, Above All Glory Seated
Author: James R. Woodford Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 95 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ, above all glory seated,
King triumphant, strong to save!
Dying, you have death defeated,
buried, you have spoiled the grave.
You have gone where now is given
what no mortal might could gain,
on th'eternal throne of heaven
in your Father's pow'r to reign.
2 Then will kingdoms all adore you,
heav'n above and earth below,
while the depths of hell before you
trembling and defeated bow.
We will praise you, Lord and Savior,
and implore your grace and love;
hear our pray'r and help us always
seek the things that are above.
3 Lord, when you again in glory
on the clouds of heav'n shall shine,
we, your church, shall stand before you,
brought from all the days of time.
In your faithfulness confiding,
Jesus, we shall all adore:
praise and glory, thanks and honor,
pow'r and strength forevermore!
