Singing we Gladly Worship the Lord.mp3

       Singing, we gladly worship the Lord together.
       Singing, we gladly worship the Lord.
       Those who are travelling the road of life
       sow seeds of peace and love.

1 Come, bringing hope into a world of fear,
a world which is burdened down with dread,
a world which is yearning for a greater love
but needs to be shown the true way.

2 Come, bringing joyfully in both your hands
some kindling to light the path of peace,
some hope that there is a more human world
where justice and truth will be born.

3 Whenever hatefulness and violence
are banished for ever from our hearts,
then will the world believe the day is near
when sadness and pain shall find their end.

 

God of all comfort

GWA 226

Music & Words: Joel Payne & Matt Weeks, for the 75th anniversary of Christian Aid

 

GWA 226 God of all comfort.mp3

1 God of all comfort, God of compassion,
reveal your mercy through us your Church,
disturb our slumber, move us to action,
to show your kingdom on the earth.
Make us like Jesus, full of your Spirit,
declaring good news to the poor,
proclaiming freedom for every captive
and the favour of the Lord.

2 Show us the value of every person,
show us your image in every face;
we all are equal, we all are broken,
and need the kindness of your grace.
We stand together, here in the margins,
there in the hardship and the pain,
we cry for justice and restoration,
until the silent sing again.

3 We hear the groaning of all creation,
we hear the promise of earth renewed,
so make us agents of your redemption
in this, the world so loved by you.
May we grow bolder, may we speak louder,
until your voice of hope is heard;
for we see Jesus, going before us,
to bring his kingdom on the earth.

We pray your kingdom come on earth.
We pray your kingdom come on earth.

 

At the name of Jesus

At the Name of Jesus.mp3

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 Brothers, sisters, name him
with love strong as death,
but with awe and wonder
and with bated breath!
He is God the Saviour,
he is Christ the Lord,
ever to be worshipped,
trusted and adored.

3 In your hearts enthrone him;
there let him subdue
all that is not holy,
all that is not true:
let his grace support you
in temptation’s hour;
and his will enfold you
in its light and power.

4 In his Father’s glory
Christ shall come again,
angel hosts proclaiming
his return to reign.
For all wreaths of empire
meet upon his brow,
and our hearts confess him
King of glory now.
