HYMN DAY! “We Are Called to Be God’s People” by Thomas A. Jackson was put to music written by Franz Joseph Haydn and is really pretty when sung. The words are powerful when you consider putting them to action. (You can listen to it here, if you like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L-Wjyn6nGI)

Verse 1

We are called to be God’s people
Showing by our lives His grace
One in heart and one in spirit
Sign of hope for all the race
Let us show how He has changed us
And remade us as His own
Let us share our life together
As we shall around His throne

Verse 2

We are called to be God’s servants
Working in His world today
Taking His own task upon us
All His sacred words obey
Let us rise then to His summons
Dedicate to Him our all
That we may be faithful servants
Quick to answer now His call

Verse 3

We are called to be God’s prophets
Speaking for the truth and right
Standing firm for godly justice
Bringing evil into light
Let us seek the courage needed
Our high calling to fulfill
That we all may know the blessing
Of the doing of God’s will
