Lord, we pray with one accord;
For a just and equal sharing
Of the things that earth affords.
To a life of love in action
Help us rise and pledge our word.
To a life of love in action
Help us rise and pledge our word.
2 Lead us, Father, into freedom,
From despair your world release;
That redeemed from war and hatred
Men may come and go in peace.
Show us how through care and goodness
Fear will die and hope increase.
Show us how through care and goodness
Fear will die and hope increase.
3 All that kills abundant living,
Let it from the earth be banned;
Pride of status, race, or schooling,
Dogmas keeping man from man.
In our common quest for justice
May we hallow life's brief span.
In our common quest for justice
May we hallow life's brief span.
4 You, Creator God, have written
Your great name on all mankind;
For our growing in your likeness
Bring the life of Christ to mind;
That by our response and service
Earth its destiny may find.
That by our response and service
Earth its destiny may find. Scripture: Amos 5:24 Languages: English Tune Title: KONG-EUI
