If I Were a Voice
Appears in 41 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 6:10 First Line: If I were a voice, a persuasive voice Refrain First Line: I would fly, I would fly Lyrics: 1 If I were a voice, a persuasive voice,
That could travel this wide world through,
I would fly on the beams of the morning light,
I would speak to men with a gentle might,
I'd tell them to be true.
I would fly, I would fly, over land and sea,
Wherever a human heart could be;
Telling a tale, or singing a song,
In praise of the right, or in blame of the wrong.
Refrain:
I would fly, I would fly,
I would fly, I would fly,
I would fly over land and sea.
2 If I were a voice, a consoling voice,
I would fly on the wings of the air;
The homes of sorrow and guilt I'd seek,
And calm and truthful words I'd speak,
To save them from despair.
I would fly, I would fly, o'er the crowded town,
I'd drop, like the happy sunbeam, down
Into the hearts of suffering men,
I'd teach them to look up again. [Refrain]
3 If I were a voice, an immortal voice,
That could travel this wide world round;
Wherever man to his idols bowed,
I'd publish, in notes both long and loud,
The gospel's joyful sound.
I would fly, I would fly, on the wings of day,
Proclaiming peace on my world-wide way;
Bidding this saddened earth rejoice,
If I were a voice, an immortal voice. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [If I were a voice] (Shaw)

Great God, Your Love Has Called Us Here
Author: Brian Wren (1936-) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 6:1-16 Lyrics: 1 Great God, your love has called us here
as we, by love, for love were made.
Your living likeness still we bear,
though marred, dishonoured, disobeyed.
We come, with all our heart and mind
your call to hear, your love to find.
2 We come with self-inflicted pains
of broken trust and chosen wrong;
half-free, half-bound by inner chains;
by social forces swept along,
by powers and systems close confined;
yet seeking hope for humankind.
3 Great God, in Christ you call our name
and then receive us as your own
not through some merit, right, or claim,
but by your gracious love alone.
We strain to glimpse your mercy seat
and find you kneeling at our feet.
4 Then take the towel, and break the bread,
and humble us, and call us friends.
Suffer and serve till all are fed,
and show how grandly love intends
to work till all creation sings,
to fill all worlds, to crown all things.
5 Great God, in Christ you set us free
your life to live, your joy to share.
Give us your Spirit's liberty
to turn from guilt and dull despair
and offer all that faith can do
while love is making all things new. Topics: Call and Vocation; Holy Week (Maundy Thursday); Sunday Used With Tune: ST. PETERSBURG

and wage your healing war.

Christ's mercy they proclaim,
make known the great Physician's mind,
affirm the Savior's name.

to you may consecrate their skill
and make the sufferer whole. Topics: God in Society Sickness and Healing; Healing, Physical; Jesus Christ Physician; God Providence; Inner Healing; Physical Healing; Jesus Christ Physician; Missions; Science Used With Tune: CRIMOND

Author: Genevieve M. Irons, 1855-1928 Meter: 8.8.8.6 Appears in 29 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 6:10 Lyrics: 1 Drawn to the Cross, which Thou hast blessed
With healing gifts for souls distressed,
To find in Thee my life, my rest,
Christ crucified, I come.
2 Thou knowest all my griefs and fears,
Thy grace abused, my misspent years;
Yet now to Thee with contrite tears,
Christ crucified, I come.
3 Wash me and take away each stain;
Let nothing of my sin remain.
For cleansing, though it be through pain,
Christ crucified, I come.
4 And then for work to do for Thee,
Which shall so sweet a service be
That angels well might envy me,
Christ crucified, I come.
