Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: The Faith We Sing #2230 (2001) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Lord, we come to ask your blessing
on the love that makes us one;
here, as Christians, to acknowledge
you are Lord, and you alone.
2 God of love, unless you bless us
how can we each other bless?
Only as you live within us
is there depth of happiness.
3 May our loving be a sharing
of the gifts we each possess;
may no failure of forbearance
turn our love to bitterness.
4 Lord, we come to ask your blessing
in the presence of our friends:
Grant us joy that blesses others,
grant us love that never ends. Topics: The Nature of the Church United in Christ Languages: English Tune Title: SUGAR GROVE
