Help Us Accept Each Other

Author: Fred Kaan, b. 1929 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Ecumenism 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 righteousness and bread, We need new eyes for seeing, New hands for holding on; Renew us with your Spirit; Lord, free us, make us one!

Oh, may we all one bread, one body be, one through this 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, one through this sacrament of unity. 3 We pray thee too for wanderers from thy fold; O bring them back, good Shepherd of the sheep, back to the faith which saints believed of old, back to the Church which still that faith doth keep; soon may we all one bread, one body be, one through this sacrament of unity. 4 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 blessèd still, in peace and love to be one with the Trinity in Unity.

Yours the gold and yours the silver, Yours the wealth of land and sea, We, the stewards of your bounty, Faithful to our trust should be. 3 Come, O Christ, and reign among us, King of love and Prince of Peace; Hush the storm of strife and passion, Bid its cruel discords cease. By your patient years of toiling, By your silent hours of pain, Quench our fevered thirst of pleasure, Shame our selfish greed of gain. 4 See the Christ-like host advancing, High and lowly, great and small, Linked in bonds of common service For the common Lord of all. As you prayed and as you labored That your people should be one, Grant, O grant our hope’s fruition: Here on earth your will be done. Amen. Scripture: Titus 2:13-14 Used With Tune: IN BABILONE
