Psalter Hymnal, 1987

The love that made us, makes us one, and strangers now are friends. 4 The Spirit of the risen Christ, unseen, but ever near, is in such friendship better known, alive among us here. 5 A cloud of loving witnesses surrounds us while we sing as all the saints, forgiven, loved, immortal praises bring. 6 Together met, together bound by all that God has done, we’ll go with joy, to give the world the love that makes us one.
