God of All, Whose Love Surrounds Us

Author: Daniel B. Merrick, Jr. Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 4 hymnals 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.

Llantwit Fardre, Wales, 1932) received little formal education; at age twelve he was already working as a doorboy at a local mining company in Llantwit Fardre. He eventually became an official in the traffic department of the Great Western Railway.

Hughes composed two anthems, a number of Sunday school marches, and a few hymn tunes, of which CWM RHONDDA is universally known, the tune was composed in 1905 Baptist Cymanfa Ganu (song festival) in Capel Rhondda, Pontypridd, Wales.
