Author: David A. Robb (1932-) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #453 (1998) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: Mark 8:1-10 Lyrics: 1 Living Lord of Love's dominion,
sovereign Saviour, bless your church ;
call us still as your disciples --
loving, serving, while we search.
Gathered: feed our deepest being
prophet's truth and godly nerve;
scattered: let our lives' fruition
nourish others while we serve.
2 Visit towns and inner cities;
penetrate our steel and stone
with a love that melt our coldness,
making mission here our own.
We will seek you, love transfigured,
in our neighbour's need
until deep within our daily service
love draws forth our utmost skill.
3 With your bread, your wine, your Spirit,
nurture us for your intent;
let your will be our vocation
lived as song and sacrament.
May compassion lead to service
till we join the saints above;
grant us hope for each tomorrow;
fill our faith with vibrant love! Topics: Call and Vocation; Church; Discipleship; Eucharist; Nation and City Languages: English Tune Title: PLEADING SAVIOUR
