Come to this work, this task, this joy

Come to this work, this task, this joy,
This worship, thanks and praise,
Come join the mystery, share, enjoy
God's work in Christ; God's ways.
Hold in your mind the ancient truths
Proclaimed in worship real;
God's work in Christ, the love God breathes
To hold, to help, to heal.
Bring, as you come, your highest hopes,
Your deepest thoughts and cares,
God's work in Christ saves, serves and shapes
Them by the Spirit's prayers.
Carry the world, it's tears and joys,
In prayer and yearning too;
God's endless work in Christ shall raise
All fallen things; renew.
Leave with new love and hope and peace;
Your life held, helped and healed;
God's work in Christ shall never cease
Till worlds are reconciled.
