627. Called by Christ to Love Each Other

1 Called by Christ to love each other,
called by Christ to seek the lost,
may we each, as sister, brother,
follow Christ, not counting cost.
One in daring, one in sharing,
follow Christ, not counting cost.
One in daring, one in sharing,
follow Christ, not counting cost.

2 Called by Christ to be a witness,
called by Christ for this, our day,
in Christ's strength we have our fitness,
work to do and words to say.
On Christ leaning, find life's meaning,
work to do and words to say,
On Christ leaning, find life's meaning,
work to do and words to say.

3 Called by Christ to be earth's leaven,
called by Christ to shed God's light,
may we bring a view of heaven
to this world's despairing plight.
Christ revealing, wondrous healing
to this world's despairing plight.
Christ revealing, wondrous healing
to this world's despairing plight.

4 Called by Christ as friends and learners,
called by Christ for peace on earth,
in this world as Christ's sojourners
we receive new pow'r, new birth.
As we're praising (how amazing!)
we receive new pow'r, new birth.
As we're praising (how amazing!)
we receive new pow'r, new birth.
