God Is One, Unique and Holy

Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Hymnal: Gather Comprehensive #476 (1994) Lyrics: 1 God is One, unique and holy, endless dance of love and light, only source of mind and body, star-cloud, atom, day and night: ev'rything that is or could be tells God's anguish and delight. 2 God is Oneness by Communion, never single or alone; all togetherness including friendship, family, and home, common mind and shared agreement, common loaf and sung Shalom. 3 God is One through desolation-- blindness, treason, blood and gall; One, though torn by separation in the Son's forsaken call; One through death and resurrection; One in Spirit, One for all.
