Put peace into each other's hands
Author: Fred Kaan (b. 1929) Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: James 3:17-18 Lyrics: 1 Put peace into each other's hands

with tenderness enfold it.

with loving expectation;
be gentle in your words and ways,
in touch with God's creation.

look people warmly in the eye:
our life is meant for caring.

into a waiting cradle;
the gift of Christ, receive, revere,
united round the table.

Great God, your love has called us here
Author: Brian A. Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Scripture: James 3:9 Lyrics: 1 Great God, your love has called us here,
as we, by love, for love were made.
Your living likeness still we bear,
though marred, dishonoured, disobeyed.
We come, with all our heart and mind
your call to hear, your love to find.
2 We come with self-inflicted pains
of broken trust and chosen wrong,
half-free, half-bound by inner chains,
by social forces swept along,
by powers and systems close confined,
yet seeking hope for humankind.
3 Great God, in Christ you call our name,
and then receive us as your own,
not through some merit, right or claim,
but by your gracious love alone.
We strain to glimpse your mercy-seat
and find you kneeling at our feet.
4 Then take the towel, and break the bread,
and humble us, and call us friends.
Suffer and serve till all are fed,
and show how grandly love intends
to work till all creation sings,
to fill all worlds, to crown all things.
5 Great God, in Christ you set us free
your life to live, your joy to share.
Give us your Spirit's liberty
to turn from guilt and dull despair,
and offer all that faith can do,
while love is making all things new. Used With Tune: RYBURN

peace to our land, the fruit of truth and love;

When pain and death shall cease,

And ever green the sod;
And man's rude work deface no more
The Paradise of God.

Holy wisdom, love most bright,
Drawn by you, our souls aspiring,
Soar to uncreated Light.
Word of God, our flesh that fashioned
With the fire of life impassioned,
Striving still to truth unknown,
Soaring, dying, 'round your throne.
2 Through the way where hope is guiding,
Hear what peaceful music rings;
Where the flocks in you confiding,
Drink of joy from deathless springs!
Theirs is beauty’s fairest pleasure;
Theirs is wisdom’s holiest treasure;
You do ever lead your own,
In the love of joys unknown.
