Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 30 hymnals Matching Instances: 8 Lyrics: 1 The church of Christ in every age, Beset by change but Spirit led, Must claim and test its heritage And keep on rising from the dead. 2 Across the world, across the street, The victims of injustice cry For shelter and for bread to eat, And never live until they die. 3 Then let the servant church arise, A caring church that longs to be A partner in Christ's sacrifice, And clothed in Christ's humanity. 4 For Christ alone, whose blood was shed, Can cure the fever in our blood, And teach us how to share our bread And feed the starving multitude. 5 We have no mission but to serve In full obedience to our Lord: To care for all, without reserve, And spread his liberating word.
