God, We Have Come from Our Families and Homes

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 10.10.9.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Christian unity Lyrics: God, we have come from our families and homes, Seeking the things that will make us all one. For we know now— the things that divide And how divisions have hurt us inside. You sent us Jesus, who prayed for his own: “Make them all one so your love will be known.” Making new friends— may we understand We are love’s bearers throughout every land. Great strength and might will not bring us success— Yet by your Spirit our lives will be blest! Give us new dreams— of what life can be; Help us to work for a new harmony. Lord, as we worship and sightsee and play, And as we listen to what others say, Days turn to weeks— until this time ends; Gathered as strangers, may we leave as friends. Scripture: John 17:20-23 Used With Tune: SLANE

Thy hand, O God, has guided

Author: Edward Hayes Plumptre, 1821-1891 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 57 hymnals Topics: Christian unity Lyrics: 1 Thy hand, O God, has guided thy flock, from age to age; the wondrous tale is written, full clear, on ev'ry page; our forebears owned thy goodness, and we their deeds record; and both of this bear witness: one Church, one Faith, one Lord. 2 Thy heralds brought glad tidings to greatest, as to least; they bade them rise, and hasten to share the great King's feast; and this was all their teaching, in every deed and word, to all alike proclaiming: one Church, one Faith, one Lord. 3 Through many a day of darkness, through many a scene of strife, the faithful few fought bravely to guard the nation's life. Their gospel of redemption, sin pardoned, man restored, was all in this enfolded: one Church, one Faith, one Lord. 4 And we, shall we be faithless? Shall hearts fail, hands hang down? Shall we evade the conflict, and cast away our crown? Not so: in God's deep counsels some better thing is stored; we will maintain, unflinching, one Church, one Faith, one Lord. 5 Thy mercy will not fail us, nor leave thy work undone; with thy right hand to help us, the victory shall be won; and then be all creation, thy name shall be adored. And this shall be their anthem: One Church, one Faith, one Lord. Scripture: Ephesians 4:5 Used With Tune: THORNBURY

When Minds and Bodies Meet as One

Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Christian unity Lyrics: 1 When minds and bodies meet as one and find their true affinity, we join the dance in God begun and move within the Trinity, so praise the good that's seen and done in loving, giving unity, revealing God, forever One, whose nature is Community. 2 When leaders meet with angry sound, yet bridle their hostility, to bargain for a common ground, and end with unanimity, so glad for all the hope that's won in every gleam of unity, revealing God, forever One, whose nature is Community. 3 When teamwork serves a common aim, and players move in sympathy, the flowing rhythm of the game is beauty in simplicity, so praise the good that's seen and done in swiftly moving unity, revealing God, forever One, whose nature is Community. 4 When people feel the lashing claws of greed and inhumanity, yet struggle in a rightful cause with caring solidarity, be glad for all the hope that's won in freedom-loving unity, revealing God, forever One, whose nature is Community. 5 In Christ we come to break and bless the bread of new society, created for togetherness, from infinite variety, so praise the good that's seen and done in Spirit-given unity, revealing God, forever One, whose nature is Community.
