O God, we bear the imprint of your face
Author: Shirley Erena Murray (b. 1931) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 133:1 Lyrics: 1 O God, we bear the imprint of your face:
the colours of our skin are your design,
and what we have of beauty in our race
as man or woman, you alone define,
who stretched a living fabric on our frame
and gave to each a language and a name.
2 Where we are torn and pulled apart by hate
because our race, our skin is not the same,
while we are judged unequal by the state
and victims made because we own our name --
humanity reduced to little worth,
dishonoured is Your living face on earth.
3 O God, we share the image of your Son
whose flesh and blood are ours, whatever skin,
in his humanity we find our own,
and in his family our proper kin:
Christ is the brother we still crucify,
his love the language we must learn, or die. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in mission and service; Our Response to God in mission and service; Unity of Humanity Used With Tune: SONG 1
O God, we bear the imprint of your face

O happy Nation, where the Lord
Appears in 30 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 133 Lyrics: 1 O happy Nation, where the Lord
Reveals the Treasure of his Word,
And builds his Church, his earthly Throne!
His Eye the Heathen World surveys,
He form'd their Hearts, he knows their Ways,
But GOD their Maker is unknown.
2 Let Kings rely upon their Host,
And of his Strength the Champion boast;
In vain they boast, in vain rely;
In vain we trust the brutal Force;
Or Speed or Courage of an Horse,
To guard his Rider, or to fly.
3 The Eye of thy Compassion, Lord,
Doth more secure Defence afford
When Death or Dangers threat'ning stand;
Thy watchful Eye preserves the Just,
Who make thy Name their Fear and Trust,
When Wars or Famine waste the Land.
4 In Sickness, or the bloody Field,
Thou our Physician, thou our Shield,
Send us Salvation from thy Throne;
We wait to see thy Goodness shine;
Let us rejoice in Help divine,
For all our Hope is GOD alone. Topics: Creation and Providence; Creatures no trust in them; Friendship its Blessings; God all-sufficient; God our Defense and Salvation; Grace and providence; Praise for creation and providence; Works and grace

Oh, it is joy for those to meet
Author: Anon. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 133:1 Lyrics: 1 Oh, it is joy for those to meet
Whom one communion blends,
Counsel to hold in converse sweet,
And talk as Christian friends.
2 'Tis joy to think the angel train,
Who 'mid heaven's temple shine,
To seek our earthly temples deign,
And in our anthems join.
3 But chief, 'tis joy to think, that he,
To whom his church is dear,
Delights her gathered flock to see,
Her joint devotions hear.
4 Then who would choose to walk abroad,
While here such joys are given?
This is indeed the house of God,
And this the gate of heaven!

O what a happy thing it is
Author: W. W. Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 133 Lyrics: 1 O what a happy thing it is,
and joyful for to see,
Brethren to dwell together in
friendship and unity!
2 It's like the precious ointment that
was pour'd on Aaron's head,
Which from his beard down to the skirts
of his rich garments spread.
3 And as the lower ground doth drink
the dew of Hermon hill,
And Sion with his silver drops
the fields with fruit doth fill;
4 Ev'n so the Lord doth pour on them
his blessings manifold,
Whose hearts and minds sincerely do
this knot fast keep and hold.
O what a happy thing it is
