182. Make known the arms of brotherhood

1 Make known the arms of brotherhood
Where human hearts are bowed with care
Dare to advance the common good
By ministries that serve and share.

2 Make known the arms of brotherhood,
Not just word, but kindly deed;
Love everywhere is understood
And is the people's foremost need.

3 Make large the arms of brotherhood:
Ask for the heart a mighty reach
That loves our neighbors as we should,
No matter what their land or speech.

4 Make strong the arms of brotherhood;
Holy fast the church's noble plan
To build the world one neighborhood
With Christ the Lord of every man.

Amen.
