Author: Daniel B. Merrick, Jr. Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #619 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 God of all, whose love surrounds us,
praise we bring you joyfully,
one in heart and one in purpose,
one in Christian love to be.
Lord, awake us to the vision
of a world redeemed and free!
2 You have led us by your Spirit
to accept your kingdom's goal.
Hand in hand with joy advancing,
we are one in heart and soul,
filled by you with one great passion:
that the world may be made whole.
3 Grant us, in the mind's maturing,
your own guidance on our way.
Purge our hearts from hate and envy;
quench the pride that may hold sway;
quicken us with power abundant
for the work we face today.
4 Let us then our service render
witnessing your love for all,
toiling with unceasing fervor,
swift to venture at your call.
Make us in your strength victorious
with our Christ, the Lord of all. Topics: Spread of the Gospel; Christian Service; Church--Unity; Conversion; God--Guidance; Spread of the Gospel Scripture: Romans 15:1-13 Languages: English Tune Title: DAWAN MAN AI ALKI BRIRAM
