Help Us Accept Each Other
Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 24 hymnals Scripture: John 15:12 Lyrics: 1 Help us accept each other
as Christ accepted us;
teach us as sister, brother,
each person to embrace.
Be present, Lord, 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 Lord, for today's encounters
with all who are in need,
who hunger for acceptance,
for justice and for bread,
we need new eyes for seeing,
new hands for holding on:
renew us with your Spirit;
Lord, free us; make us one! Topics: Compassion; Ecumenical; Justice and Reconciliation; Renewal; Teaching/Education; Unity; Unity Used With Tune: BARONITA

How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: John 15:18-21 Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord,
when once we heed your call
to live according to your word
and daily learn, refreshed, restored,
that you are Lord of all
and will not let us fall.
2 But if, forgetful, we should find
your yoke is hard to bear;
if worldly pressures fray the mind
and love itself cannot unwind
its tangled skein of care:
our inward life repair.
3 We marvel how your saints became
in hindrances more sure:
whose joyful virtues put to shame
the casual way we wear your name,
and by our faults obscure
your power to cleanse and cure.
4 In what you give us, Lord, to do,
together or alone,
in old routines or ventures new,
may we not cease to look to you:
the cross you hung upon,
all you endeavored, done.

promete estar conmigo hasta el fin.

2 Jesús jamás me falta; jamás me dejará;
es mi fuerte y poderoso Protector.
Del mundo yo me aparto y de la vanidad
para consagrar mi vida a mi Señor.
Si el mundo me persigue, si sufro tentación,
confiado en Cristo puedo resistir.
La victoria me es segura, y elevo mi canción;
¡Grandes cosas Cristo ha hecho para mí!
3 Yo sé que Jesucristo muy pronto volverá,
y entretanto me prepara un lugar
En casa de su Padre, mansión de luz y paz,
do el creyente fiel con él ha de morar.
Llegando a la gloria, con él yo estaré;
contemplaré su rostro siempre allí.
Con los santos redimidos gozoso cantaré:

to me giving
life forever;
nothing me from him can sever.

are Lord, beginning without end,
the first and last, eternal!
And you at length — O glorious grace —
will take me to that holy place
the home of joys supernal.
Amen, amen!
Come and meet me,
quickly greet me!
With deep yearning,
Lord, I look for your returning.

let all glad sounds of music ring
in God's high praises blended.

O victorious
chosen nation;
praise the God of your salvation. Topics: Epiphany Used With Tune: WIE SCHÖN LEUCHTET Text Sources: Tr.: The Lutheran Hymnal, 1941, alt.
