God of freedom, God of justice

Author: Shirley Erena Murray (b. 1931) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Nation and Society Lyrics: 1 God of freedom, God of justice, you whose love is strong as death, you who saw the dark of prison, you who knew the price of faith — touch our world of sad oppression with your Spirit's healing breath. 2 Rid the earth of torture's terror, you whose hands were nailed to wood, hear the cries of pain and protest, you who shed the tears and blood — move in us the power of pity restless for the common good. 3 Make in us a captive conscience quick to hear, to act, to plead; make us truly sisters, brothers of whatever race or creed — teach us to be fully human, open to each other's need.

How glorious to behold! Beyond the Pomp that charms the Eyes, And Rites adorn'd with Gold. 6 The GOD we worship now Will guide us till we die, Will be our GOD while here below, And ours above the Sky.
