Text: | As Tranquil Streams |
Author: | Marion Franklin Ham, 1867-1956 |
Tune: | WINCHESTER NEW |
1 As tranquil streams that meet and merge
and flow as one to seek the sea,
our kindred hearts and minds unite
to build a church that shall be free —
2 Free from the bonds that bind the mind
to narrow thought and lifeless creed;
free from a social code that fails
to serve the cause of human need:
3 A freedom that reveres the past,
but trusts the dawning future more;
and bids the soul, in search of truth,
adventure boldly and explore.
4 Prophetic church, the future waits
your liberating ministry;
go forward in the power of love,
proclaim the truth that makes us free.
