Offertory Hymn

Take My Hands

Verse 1
Take my hands
and make them as your own,
and use them for your kingdom
here on earth.
Consecrate them to your care,
anoint them for your service where
you may need your gospel
to be sown.Verse 2
Take my hands,
they speak now for my heart,
and by their actions
they will show their love.
Guard them on their daily course,
be their strength and guiding force
to ever serve the Trinity above.Verse 3
Take my hands,
I give them to you, Lord.
Prepare them for the service
of your name.
Open them to human need
and by their love they’ll sow your seed
so all may know the love and hope you gave.Ending
Take my hands, take my hands, O Lord.

Communion Hymn

The Summons

Verse 1
Will you come and follow me
If I but call your name?
Will you go where you don't know
And never be the same?
Will you let my love be shown,
Will you let my name be known,
Will you let my life be grown in you,
and you in me?Verse 2
Will you leave yourself behind
If I but call your name?
Will you care for cruel and kind
And never be the same?
Will you risk the hostile stare
Should your life attract or scare?
Will you let me answer pray’r in you
and you in me?Verse 3
Will you let the blinded see
If I but call your name?
Will you set the pris’ners free
And never be the same?
Will you kiss the leper clean,
And do such as this unseen,
And admit to what I mean in you
and you in me?Verse 4
Will you love the "you" you hide
If I but call your name?
Will you quell the fear inside
And never be the same?
Will you use the faith you've found
to reshape the world around,
through my sight and touch and sound in you
and you in me?Verse 5
Lord, your summons echoes true
When you but call my name.
Let me turn and follow you
And never be the same.
In your company I'll go
Where your love and footsteps show.
Thus I'll move and live and grow in you
and you in me.
