Field and forest, vale and mountain, flowery meadow, flashing sea, Chanting bird and flowing fountain, teach us what our praise should be. 3 You are giving and forgiving, ever blessing, ever blessed, Wellspring of the joy of living, ocean depth of happy rest! Loving Spirit, Father, Mother, all who love belong to you; Teach us how to love each other, by that love our joy renew. 4 Mortals, join the mighty chorus which the morning stars began; Boundless love is reigning o’er us, reconciling race and clan. Ever singing, move we forward, faithful in the midst of strife, Joyful music leads us onward in the triumph song of life. Scripture: Isaiah 49:13 Used With Tune: HYMN TO JOY

Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.

Our forebears owned your goodness, and we their deeds record; and both of this bear witness: one church, one faith, one Lord. 2 Your heralds brought glad tidings to greatest as to least; they bade them rise, and hasten to share the heavenly feast. And this was all their teaching, in every deed and word, to all alike proclaiming: one church, one faith, one Lord. 3 Through many days of darkness, through many scenes of strife, the faithful few fought bravely to guard your people's life. Their gospel of redemption, sin pardoned, earth restored, was all in this enfolded: one church, one faith, one Lord. 4 And we, shall we be faithless? Shall hearts fail, hands hang down? Shall we evade the conflict and cast away our crown? Not so: in God's deep counsels some better thing is stored; we will maintain, unflinching, one church, one faith, one Lord. 5 Your mercy will not fail us, nor leave your work undone; with your right hand to help us, the victory shall be won; and then, by earth and heaven, your name shall be adored, and this shall be our anthem: one church, one faith, one Lord.

The love that made us, makes us one, and strangers now are friends, and strangers now are friends. 4 The Spirit of the risen Christ, unseen, but ever near, is in such friendship better known, alive among us here, alive among us here. 5 Together met, together bound by all that God has done, we'll go with joy, to give the world the love that makes us one, the love that makes us one.
