OPENING

For the Beauty of the Earth
DIX

1. For the beauty of the earth,
For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies:
Lord of all, to you we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.

2. For the beauty of each hour
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flow’r,
Sun and moon, and stars of light:
Lord of all, to you we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.

3. For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth and friends above;
For all gentle thoughts and mild:
Lord of all, to you we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.

4. For your Church, that evermore
Lifts its holy hands above,
Off’ring up on ev’ry shore
A pure sacrifice of love:
Lord of all, to you we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.

5. For Yourself, O Gift Divine
To our world so freely giv’n,
For that love from which will shine,
Peace on earth and joy in heav’n:
Lord of all, to you we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.

Unless a Grain of Wheat
Bernadette Farrell

Refrain
Unless a grain of wheat shall fall
upon the ground and die,
it remains but a single grain
with no life.

1. If we have died with him,
then we shall live with him;
if we hold firm,
we shall reign with him.

2. If anyone serves me,
then they must follow me;
wherever I am,
my servants will be.

3. Make your home in me
as I make mine in you;
those who remain in me
bear much fruit.

4. If you remain in me
and my word lives in you,
then you will be
my disciples.

5. Those who love me
are loved by my Father;
we shall be with them
and dwell in them.

6. Peace I leave with you,
my peace I give to you;
peace which the world
cannot give is my gift.

Seed, Scattered and Sown

Dan Feiten

Seed, scattered and sown, wheat, gathered and grown,
bread, broken and shared as one, the Living Bread of God.
Vine, fruit of the land, wine, work of our hands,
one cup that is shared by all; the Living Cup, the Living Bread of God.

1.    Is not the bread we break a sharing in our Lord?    

Is not the cup we bless the blood of Christ outpoured?

2.    The seed which falls on rock will wither and will die.   

The seed within good ground will flower and have life.

3.    As wheat upon the hills was gathered and was grown,     

So may the church of God be gathered into one.

Text:  Didache 9 , 1 Corinthians 10:16-17, Mark 4:3-6; Dan Feiten, © 1987, Ekklesia Music, Inc.

SENDING FORTH

For the Fruits of This Creation 

Fred Pratt Green 

1.    For the fruits of this creation,    

Thanks be to God;    

For these gifts to ev'ry nation,    

Thanks be to God;    

For the plowing, sowing, reaping,     

Silent growth while we are sleeping,    

Future needs in earth's safe keeping,    

Thanks be to God.

2.    In the just reward of labor,    

God's will is done;    

In the help we give our neighbor,    

God's will is done;    

In our worldwide task of caring    

For the hungry and despairing,    

In the harvests we are sharing,    

God's will is done.

3.    For the harvests of the Spirit,    

Thanks be to God;    

For the good we all inherit,    

Thanks be to God;    

For the wonders that astound us,    

For the truths that still confound us,    

Most of all, that love has found us,    

Thanks be to God.

Verse 1

How lovely is Your dwelling place
O Lord almighty
For my soul longs and even faints for You
For here my heart is satisfied
Within Your presence
I sing beneath the shadow of Your wings

Chorus

Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts
Than thousands elsewhere
(Than thousands elsewhere)

Verse 2

One thing I ask and I would seek
To see Your beauty
To find You in the place
Your glory dwells
(REPEAT)

Bridge

My heart and flesh cry out
For You the living God
Your Spirit's water to my soul
I've tasted and I've seen
Come once again to me
I will draw near to You
I will draw near to You to You

Bridge

Better is one day better is one day
Better is one day than thousands elsewhere
Better is one day better is one day
Better is one day than thousands elsewhere

SENDING FORTH

Verse 1

Come set Your rule and reign
In our hearts again
Increase in us we pray
Unveil why we're made
Come set our hearts ablaze with hope
Like wildfire in our very souls
Holy Spirit come invade us now
We are Your church
We need Your pow'r in us

Verse 2

We seek Your kingdom first
We hunger and we thirst
Refuse to waste our lives
For You're our joy and prize
To see the captives' hearts released
The hurt the sick the poor at peace
We lay down our lives for heaven's cause
We are Your church
We pray revive this earth

Chorus

Build Your kingdom here
Let the darkness fear
Show Your mighty hand
Heal our streets and land
Set Your church on fire
Win this nation back
Change the atmosphere
Build Your kingdom here we pray

Verse 3

Unleash Your kingdom's pow'r
Reaching the near and far
No force of hell can stop
Your beauty changing hearts
You made us for much more than this
Awake the kingdom seed in us
Fill us with the strength and love of Christ
We are Your church
We are the hope on earth

COMMUNION

Verse 1

Miracle of grace mystery of faith
Calling us to venture to the deep
Though our senses fail Your graces still prevail
And we become the love that we receive

Chorus

Bread of Life Bread of Life
Those who eat this bread shall live and never die
Bread of Life Bread of Life
Your true presence in this holy sacrifice
Bread of Life

Verse 2

Unworthy though we are You feed the hungry heart
With bread come down from heaven above
And like a grain of wheat we fall down at Your feet
Dying here with You oh let us rise

Verse 3

Your faithfulness revealed
In this covenant You've sealed
With your very body and Your blood
Come claim Your bride again
With love that cannot end
For what God joins no one can divide
