Gather Your People

Gather your people, O Lord.
Gather your people, O Lord.
One bread, one body, one spirit of love.
Gather your people, O Lord.
Draw us forth to the table of life: brothers and sisters,
each of us called to walk in your light.

Gather your people, O Lord.
Gather your people, O Lord.
One bread, one body, one spirit of love.
Gather your people, O Lord.
We are parts of the body of Christ, needing each other,
each of the gifts the Spirit provides.

Gather your people, O Lord.
Gather your people, O Lord.
One bread, one body, one spirit of love.
Gather your people, O Lord.
No more harm on the mountain of God: swords into plowshares.
Free us, O Lord, from hardness of heart.

Gather your people, O Lord.
Gather your people, O Lord.
One bread, one body, one spirit of love.
Gather your people, O Lord.
Wash us, Lord, in the waters of life: waters of mercy,
waters of hope that flow from your side.

1 Corinthians 12, Isaiah 2:3-4, 11:9

All People That on Earth Do Dwell

All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;
Him serve with love, his praise forth tell,
Come we before him, and rejoice.

Know that the Lord is God indeed;
Without our aid he did us make;
We are his folk, he does us feed,
And for his sheep he does us take.

O enter then his gates with praise;
Approach with joy his courts unto;
Praise, laud, and bless his Name always,
For it is seemly so to do.

For why? the Lord our God is good:
His mercy is for ever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise God, all creatures here below;
Praise God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, ever one.

Text: Psalm (99)100; William Kethe, Thomas Ken
Tune: Louis Bourgeois, John Dowland

All the Earth, Proclaim the Lord

All the earth proclaim the Lord;
sing your praise to God.
Serve you the Lord, heart filled with gladness.
Come into God's presence singing for joy!

All the earth proclaim the Lord;
sing your praise to God.
Know that the Lord is our creator.
Yes God is our Father; we are his own.

All the earth proclaim the Lord;
sing your praise to God.
We are the sheep of the green pasture;
For we are God's people; chosen by God.

All the earth proclaim the Lord;
sing your praise to God.
Come to the gates bringing thanksgiving;
O enter the courtyards singing in praise.

All the earth proclaim the Lord;
sing your praise to God.
Our Lord is good, with love enduring;
God's word is abiding now with us all.

All the earth proclaim the Lord;
sing your praise to God.
Honour and praise be to the Father,
The Son, and the Spirit, world without end.

Psalm 100
Lucien Deiss
