Author: Fred Kaan, 1929- Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #323 (1993) Meter: 10.11.10.11 First Line: Break not the circle of enabling love Lyrics: 1 Break not the circle of enabling love
where people grow, forgiven and forgiving;
break not that circle, make it wider still,
till it includes, embraces all the living.
2 Come, wonder at this love that comes to life,
where words of freedom are with humor spoken,
and people keep no score of wrong and guilt,
but will that human bonds remain unbroken.
3 Join then the movement of the love that frees,
till people of whatever race or nation
will truly be themselves, stand on their feet,
see eye to eye with laughter and elation. Topics: Humanist Teachings Humanity: Women and Men; Beloved Community; Communion; Forgiveness and Reconciliation; Gay and Lesbian Pride Day; Integrity; Unity and Diversity Languages: English Tune Title: YADDO
