Around the throne of grace we meet

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Unity in faith, hope, and feeling Lyrics: Around the throne of grace we meet, In Pentecostal bands, With Christian love each other greet, And join our hearts and hands. Now all as one, and one as all, Faith, feelings, hopes the same, On our Lord Jesus Christ we call, And glorify His name. At once upon ten thousand flowers, The morning sunbeams strike, Millions of blades of grass--Spring showers Baptize from heaven alike. So may the Sun of Righteousness On our assembly shine, And showers of consolation bless Our souls with peace divine. Hence, when we to our homes return, Rejoicing let us say, "Did not our hearts within us burn, While Christ went all our way?"

Help Us Accept Each Other

Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Unity; Unity Lyrics: 1 Help us accept each other as Christ accepted us; teach us as sister, brother, each person to embrace. Be present, Lord, among us and bring us to believe we are ourselves accepted, and meant to love and live. 2 Teach us, O Lord, your lessons, as in our daily life we struggle to be human and search for hope and faith. Teach us to care for people, for all, not just for some, to love them as we find them, or as they may become. 3 Let your acceptance change us, so that we may be moved in living situations to do the truth in love; to practice your acceptance until we know by heart the table of forgiveness, and laughter's healing art. 4 Lord, for today's encounters with all who are in need, who hunger for acceptance, for justice and for bread, we need new eyes for seeing, new hands for holding on: renew us with your Spirit; Lord, free us; make us one!

So from the beginning the fight we were winning: You, Lord, were at our side; all glory be yours! 3 We all do extol you, our leader triumphant, And pray that you still our defender will be.

The love that made us, makes us one, and strangers now are friends, and strangers now are friends. 4 The Spirit of the risen Christ, unseen, but ever near, is in such friendship better known, alive among us here, alive among us here. 5 Together met, together bound by all that God has done, we'll go with joy, to give the world the love that makes us one, the love that makes us one.
