Author: Albert F. Bayly Hymnal: The Worshipbook #646 (1972) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 Your love, O God, has all mankind created,
And led your people to this present hour.
In Christ we see love's glory consummated,
Your spirit manifests his living power.
2 We bring you, Lord, in fervent intercession
The children of your world-wide family;
With contrite hearts we offer our confession,
For we have sinned against your charity.
3 In pity look upon your children's striving
For life and freedom, peace and brotherhood,
Till, at the fullness of your truth arriving,
We find in Christ the crown of every good.
4 Inspire the church, mid earth's discordant voices,
To preach the gospel of her Lord above;
Until the day this warring world rejoices
To heart the mighty harmonies of love.
5 Until the tidings men have long awaited,
From north to south, from east to west shall ring;
And all mankind, by Jesus liberated,
Proclaims in jubilation Christ is King!
Amen. Topics: Service for the Lord's Day After Creed; Sacraments Baptism; Christian Year Pentecost; Other Observances Mission; Other Observances World Communion; Other Observances World Peace Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17 Tune Title: L'OMNIPOTENT
