Author: Rusty Edwards (b. 1955) Hymnal: Wonder, Love, and Praise #778 (1997) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Hymns and Spiritual Songs The Church's Mission Lyrics: 1 We all are one in mission,
we all are one in call,
our varied gifts united
by Christ, the Lord of all.
A single, great commission
compels us from above
to plan and work together
that all may know Christ’s love.
2 We all are called for service
to witness in God’s name.
Our ministries are diff’rent,
our purpose is the same:
to touch the lives of others
by God’s surprising grace,
so people of all nations may feel
God’s warm embrace.
3 We all behold one vision,
a stark reality;
the steward of salvation
was nailed upon a tree.
Yet resurrected Justice
gives rise that we may share
free reconciliation
and hope amid despair.
4 Now let us be united
and let our song be heard.
Now let us be a vessel
for God’s redeeming Word.
We all are one in mission,
we all are one in call,
Our varied gifts united
by Christ, the Lord of all. Scripture: Matthew 28:18-20 Languages: English Tune Title: NYLAND
