Help Us Accept Each Other

Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Year C Easter 7 Lyrics: 1 Help us accept each other as Christ accepted us; teach us as sister, brother, each person to embrace. Be present, God, 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 God, for today's encounters with all who are in need, who hunger for acceptance, for righteousness and bread, Bring us new eyes for seeing, new hands for holding on: renew us with your Spirit; God! Free us, make us one! Scripture: John 15:12 Used With Tune: AURELIA

And, Jesus, I have promised to serve you to the end: O give me grace to follow, my Saviour and my friend. Used With Tune: DAY OF REST

Author: Maltbie Davenport Babcock Meter: 6.6.8.6 D irregular Appears in 345 hymnals Topics: Easter 7 Year A Lyrics: 1 This is God's wondrous world, and to my listening ears all nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres. This is God's wondrous world; I rest me in the thought of rocks and trees, of skies and seas, God's hand the wonders wrought. 2 This is God's wondrous world: the birds their carols raise, the morning light, the lily white, declare their Maker's praise. This is God's wondrous world: God shines in all that's fair; in the rustling grass or mountain pass, God's voice speaks everywhere. 3 This is God's wondrous world: O let me ne'er forget that though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the Ruler yet. This is God's wondrous world: why should my heart be sad? Let voices sing, let the heavens ring: God reigns, let earth be glad! Amen. Used With Tune: TERRA BEATA

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick William Faber Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 928 hymnals Topics: Easter 7 Year C Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy like the wideness of the sea; there's a kindness in God's justice which is more than liberty. 2 There is no place where earth's sorrows are more felt than up in heaven; there is no place where earth's failings have such gracious judgement given. 3 There is plentiful redemption in the blood that Christ has shed; there is joy for all the members in the sorrows of the Head. 4 Troubled souls, why will you scatter like a crowd of frightened sheep? Foolish hearts, why will you wander from a love so true and deep? 5 For the love of God is broader than the measures of the mind, and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind.
