Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., 1944- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #59 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Eternal God transcending time,
yet mindful of the fears,
the hopes, the questions raised for us
by ever-changing years:
so guide us through our pilgrim days
that we may find a home
where justice, truth, and mercy meet,
fulfilled in your shalom.
2 Incarnate God revealed in time,
true Word in flesh retold,
who marked the years from birth to death,
then rose to break death's hold:
by your becoming one with us,
help us to know and claim
the unity of all baptized
in your redeeming name.
3 Life-breathing God enliv'ning time,
awaking heart and tongue,
inspiring prophets, bringing hope,
consoling old and young:
draw us to those denied your gifts
by bias, want, or strife,
convert our wills and form through us
new channels of your life.
4 Great Triune God, so bless the time
entrusted to our care,
that all our varied ministries
may form a common prayer;
then when time ceases,
bring us where divisions are undone,
that in your presence, joined in praise,
at last we may be one. Topics: God Eternal; God Father; God's Presence; Holy Spirit; Injustice; Jesus Christ The Incarnation; Marginalized; Pilgrimage; Praise; Shalom; Trinity; Unity Scripture: John 1:1-4 Languages: English Tune Title: THE FLIGHT OF THE EARLS
