61 God Is Here
[1]
God is here! As we His people
Meet to offer praise and prayer
May we find in fuller measure
What it is in Christ we share.
Here as in the world around us
All our varied skills and arts
Wait the coming of the Spirit
Into open minds and hearts.

Here are symbols to remind us
Of our lifelong need of grace;
Here are table font and pulpit;
Here the Word has central place.
Here in honesty of preaching
Here in silence as in speech
Here in newness and renewal
God the Spirit comes to each.

Here our children find a welcome
In the Shepherd s flock and fold
Here as bread and wine are taken
Christ sustains us as of old.
Here the servants of the Servant
Seek in worship to explore
What it means in daily living
To believe and to adore.
