O God, we bear the imprint of your face

Author: Shirley Erena Murray (b. 1931) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #254 (2005) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 O God, we bear the imprint of your face: the colours of our skin are your design, and what we have of beauty in our race as man or woman, you alone define, who stretched a living fabric on our frame and gave to each a language and a name. 2 Where we are torn and pulled apart by hate because our race, our skin is not the same; while we are judged unequal by the state and victims made because we own our name -- humanity reduced to little worth dishonoured is Your living face on earth. 3 O God, we share the image of your Son whose flesh and blood are ours, whatever skin, in his humanity we find our own, and in his family our proper kin: Christ is the brother we still crucify, his love the language we must learn, or die.

And now, O Father, mindful of the love

Author: William Bright, 1824-1901 Hymnal: Common Praise #279 (2000) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 And now, O Father, mindful of the love that bought us, once for all, on Calvary's tree, and having with us him that pleads above, we here present, we here spread forth to thee that only offering perfect in thine eyes, the one true, pure, immortal sacrifice. 2 Look, Father, look on his anointed face, and only look on us as found in him; look not on our misusings of thy grace, our prayer so languid, and our faith so dim: for lo, between our sins and their reward we set the Passion of thy Son our Lord. *3 And then for those, our dearest and our best, by this prevailing presence we appeal: O fold them closer to thy mercy's breast, O do thine utmost for their souls' true weal; from tainting mischief keep them white and clear, and crown thy gifts with strength to persevere. 4 And so we come: O draw us to thy feet, most patient Saviour, who canst love us still; and by this food, so aweful and so sweet, deliver us from every touch of ill: in thine own service make us glad and free, and grant us never more to part with thee.

Thou, who at thy first Eucharist didst pray that all thy Church might be for ever one, grant us at every Eucharist to say with longing heart and soul, "Thy will be done." O may we all one bread, one body be, through this blest sacrament of unity. 2. For all thy Church, O Lord, we intercede; make thou our sad divisions soon to cease; draw us the nearer each to each, we plead, by drawing all to thee, O Prince of Peace; thus may we all one bread, one body be, through this blest sacrament of unity. 3. So, Lord, at length when sacraments shall cease, may we be one with all thy Church above, one with thy saints in one unbroken peace, one with thy saints in one unbounded love; more blessed still, in peace and love to be one with the Trinity in Unity.

O World, Thou Choosest Not the Better Part

Author: George Santayana, 1863-1952 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #341 (1993) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 First Line: O world, thou choosest not the better part! Lyrics: 1 O world, thou choosest not the better part! It is not wisdom to be only wise, and on the inward vision close the eyes, but it is wisdom to believe the heart. To trust the soul’s invincible surmise is all of science and our only art. 2 Our knowledge is a torch of smoky pine that lights the pathway but one step ahead across a void of mystery and dread. Bid, then, the tender light of faith to shine by which alone the mortal heart is led unto the thinking of the thought divine.
