Great God, Your Love Has Called Us
Author: Brian A. Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 1:3-14 First Line: Great God, your love has called us here Lyrics: 1 Great God, your love has called us here,
as we, by love, for love were made.
Your living likeness still we bear,
though marred, dishonored, disobeyed.
We come, with all our heart and mind
your call to hear, your love to find.
2 We come with self-inflicted pains
of broken trust and chosen wrong,
half free, half bound by inner chains,
by social forces swept along,
by powers and systems close confined,
yet seeking hope for humankind.
3 Great God, in Christ you call our name
and then receive us as your own,
not through some merit, right, or claim,
but by your gracious love alone.
We strain to glimpse your mercy seat
and find you kneeling at our feet.
4 Then take the towel, and break the bread,
and humble us, and call us friends.
Suffer and serve till all are fed,
and show how grandly love intends
to work till all creation sings,
to fill all worlds, to crown all things.
5 Great God, in Christ you set us free
your life to live, your joy to share.
Give us your Spirit's liberty
to turn from guilt and dull despair,
and offer all that faith can do
while love is making all things new. Topics: Church Year Maundy Thursday; Love God's Love for Us; Elements of Worship Opening of Worship: Called And Gathered Used With Tune: RYBURN

our health while we are living,
our life when we shall die.

with clouds of martyrs bright,
who wave their palms in triumph
and fire us for the fight.
For Christ the cross ascended
to save a world undone,
and, suffering for the sinful,
our full redemption won.
3 Down in the realm of darkness
he lay a captive bound,
but at the hour appointed
he rose, a victor crowned;
and now, to heaven ascended,
he sits upon the throne
in glorious dominion,
his Father's and his own.
4 Glory to God the Father,
the unbegotten One;
all honour be to Jesus,
his sole-begotten Son:
and to the Holy Spirit --
the perfect Trinity.
Let all the worlds give answer.
'Amen, so let it be'. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Risen - Reign and Priesthood; Christian Year Ascension; Martyrs; Salvation and Redemption Used With Tune: MOVILLE
