God, You Give Us Recreation

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Amos 5:24 First Line: God, you give us recreation, rest and play when work is through Lyrics: God, you give us recreation, rest and play when work is through, Game and sport and celebration, times that challenge and renew. In the days we spend together, in the feasts that we prepare, In the times of joy and laughter, may we know your loving care. Yet, O Lord, we see you crying for the ones who know no rest, For your children, hungry, dying, for the homeless and oppressed. May we, as your sons and daughters, share with open heart and hand, Till your justice flows like water to the poor throughout the land. Bless, O Christ, our gifts of caring, for we know without a doubt: Soup and bread are made for sharing, hands are made for reaching out. Even in our times of playing, may we keep the vision clear: Keep us serving, loving, praying, welcoming your kingdom here.

Praying this prayer, many have struggled and dared, All for the world you intend here. Christ, we give thanks for past saints who renewed education, Freed the oppressed, brought your healing and fought segregation. Savior and Lord, great were the risks they endured, Bearing your hope and salvation. We as your church now remember these stories of others And pray your Spirit will send us, as your sons and daughters. Show us the way we, too, can serve you each day Till justice rolls down like waters. Topics: Call/Vocation; Justice Used With Tune: LOBE DEN HERREN
