Together We Serve
Author: Daniel Charles Damon Hymnal: Glory to God #767 (2013) Meter: 5.5.11 D Topics: Justice and Reconciliation; Justice and Reconciliation Lyrics: 1 Together we serve,
united by love,
inviting God's world to the glorious feast.

extending God's love to the last and the least.

a beacon of hope,
a lamp for the heart and a light for the feet.
We learn, year by year,
to let love shine through
until we see Christ in each person we meet.

the wealthy, the poor,
the busy, the lonely, and all who need care.
We offer a home
to those who will come,
our hands quick to help, our hearts ready to dare.
4 Together, by grace,
we witness and work,
remembering Jesus, in whom we grow strong.
Together we serve
in Spirit and truth,
remembering love is the strength of our song. Scripture: Psalm 119:105 Languages: English Tune Title: SAN ANSELMO

as in our daily life
we struggle to be human
and search for hope and faith.
Teach us to care for people,
for all, not just for some,
to love them as we find them,
or as they may become.
3 Let your acceptance change us,
so that we may be moved
in living situations
to do the truth in love;
to practice your acceptance
until we know by heart
the table of forgiveness,
and laughter's healing art.

with all who are in need,
who hunger for acceptance,
for justice and for bread,

new hands for holding on:
renew us with your Spirit;

like the wideness of the sea;
there's a kindness in God's justice
which is more than liberty.
2 There is no place where earth's sorrows
are more felt than up in heaven;
there is no place where earth's failings
have such gracious judgement given.
3 There is plentiful redemption
in the blood that Christ has shed;
there is joy for all the members
in the sorrows of the Head.
4 Troubled souls, why will you scatter
like a crowd of frightened sheep?
Foolish hearts, why will you wander
from a love so true and deep?
5 For the love of God is broader
than the measures of the mind,
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind. Tune Title: GOTT WILL'S MACHEN
There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
O God of Every Nation
Author: William W. Reid Jr. Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #282 (2013) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Culture, Community & Nation; Reconciliation to Each Other; Social Justice; War and Revolution First Line: O God of every nation Lyrics: 1 O God of every nation,
of every race and land,
redeem the whole creation
with your almighty hand.
Where hate and fear divide us
and bitter threats are hurled,
in love and mercy guide us,
and heal our strife torn world.
2 From search for wealth and power
and scorn of truth and right,
from trust in bombs that shower
destruction through the night,
from pride of race and nation
and blindness to your way,
deliver every nation,
eternal God, we pray!
3 Lord, strengthen those who labor
that all may find release
from fear of rattling saber,
from dread of war's increase.
When hope and courage falter,
Lord, let your voice be heard;
with faith that none can alter,
your servants undergird.
4 Keep bright in us the vision
of days when war shall cease,
when hatred and division
give way to love and peace,
till dawns the morning glorious
when truth and justice reign,
and Christ shall rule victorious
o'er all the world's domain. Scripture: Psalm 47 Languages: English Tune Title: LLANGLOFFAN

Help Us Accept Each Other
Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #318 (2013) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Family and Relationships; Home; Hope; Race Relations; Reconciliation to Each Other; Social Justice; Unity and Fellowship; Unity of the Church Lyrics: 1 Help us accept each other as Christ accepted us;
teach us as sister, brother each person to embrace.
Be present, Lord, among us and bring us to believe
We are ourselves accepted, and meant to love and live.
2 Teach us, O Lord, your lessons, as in our daily life
we struggle to be human and search for hope and faith.
Teach us to care for people, for all, not just for some,
to love them as we find them, or as they may become.
3 Let your acceptance change us, so that we may be moved
in living situations to do the truth in love,
to practice your acceptance until we know by heart
the table of forgiveness, and laughter's healing art.
4 Lord, for today's encounters with all who are in need,
who hunger for acceptance, for righteousness and bread,
we need new eyes for seeing, new hands for holding on;
renew us with your Spirit, Lord, free us, make us one! Scripture: John 15:12 Languages: English Tune Title: NYLAND

Christ Is Alive! Let Christians Sing
Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Voices Together #359 (2020) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Confessing Faith; Justice Racial; Peace and Justice; Reconciliation Lyrics: 1 Christ is alive! Let Christians sing.
The cross stands empty to the sky.
Let streets and homes with praises ring.
Love, drowned in death, shall never die.
2 Christ is alive! No longer bound
to distant years in Palestine,
but saving, healing, here and now,
and touching ev’ry place and time.
3 In ev’ry insult, rift, and war,
where color, scorn, or wealth divide,
Christ suffers still, yet loves the more,
and lives, where even hope has died.
4 Christ is alive, and comes to bring
good news to this and ev’ry age,
till earth and sky and ocean ring
with joy, with justice, love, and praise. Scripture: Matthew 28:1-10 Tune Title: TRURO
