Author: Marion Franklin Ham, 1867-1956 Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #362 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Commission Lyrics: 1 Prophetic church, the future waits
your liberating ministry;
go forward in the pow'r of love,
proclaim the truth that makes us free;
2 Free from the bonds that bind the mind
to narrow thought and lifeless creed;
free from a social code that fails
to serve the cause of human need;
3 A freedom that reveres the past,
but trusts the dawning future more;
and bids the soul, in search of truth,
adventure boldly and explore.
