O God, we bear the imprint of your face
Author: Shirley Erena Murray (b. 1931) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 3:27-28 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. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in mission and service; Our Response to God in mission and service; Unity of Humanity Used With Tune: SONG 1
O God, we bear the imprint of your face

The promise made to Abraham
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 3:15-23 Lyrics: 1 The promise made to Abraham,
And unto all his promis'd race;
It was complete when Jesus came,
And seal'd the covenant of Grace.
2 That which was long before determin'd,
That all the law should be fulfill'd--
This was to Abraham confirm'd,
The promise ratified and seal'd.
3 What e'er the law could teach or give,
That would be labour all in vain;
To rescue, ransom or retrieve,
The wretched state of fallen men.
4 The law just like the teachers rod,
Can scourge and let us feel the smart;
But never work that love to God,
Which can renew and change the heart.
5 But this effectual change we need,
Is wrought by a superior hand;
To be of Abrah'm's genuine seed,
Entitled to that heav'nly land.
6 Jesus who was forelong ordain'd,
According to the promis'd word;
Our lost Salvation hath regain'd,
And everlasting life restor'd.
7 O let us praise the Saviours name:
Who lov'd us to the last degree--
Whose death entitles us to claim,
His love to all eternity.
Topics: 13th Sunday after Trinity
The promise made to Abraham
The way of life remain'd conceal'd
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 3:23-29 Lyrics: 1 The way of life remain'd conceal'd
To all the human race,
Until the Saviour was reveal'd
Who purchas'd pard'ning grace.
2 The moral law was never giv'n
To be the saving means;
To fit us for the courts of heav'n,
Or cleans us from our sins.
3 The law can never work that love
That forms the mind anew.
But judge, condemn and still reprove
In all we think or do.
4 But when that true and living faith
Is to the heart applied;
then as the great Apostle saith:
We shall be justified.
5 All male and female, Jew and Greek,
And ev'ry bond and free!
And all who for salvation seek,
The heirs of grace shall be.
6 Thus made the heirs of grace indeed
In spirit circumcis'd:
With Abram and his faithful seed,
For which we were baptis'd. Topics: The Circumcision of Christ
The way of life remain'd conceal'd
