For the healing of the nations
Author: Fred Kaan (1929-2009) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: Aid and development Lyrics: 1 For the healing of the nations,
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.
2 Lead us forward into freedom,
from despair your world release,
that, redeemed from war and hatred,
all may come and go in peace.
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 that obscure your plan.
In our common quest for justice
may we hallow life's brief span.

your great name on humankind;
for our growing in your likeness

use the earth gently,
nourish the life of the world in our care:
gift of great wonder,
ours to surrender,
trust for the children tomorrow will bear.

who create hunger,
agents of death for all creatures that live,
we who would foster
clouds of disaster —
God of our planet, forestall and forgive!
3 Let there be greening,
birth from the burning,
water that blesses and air that is sweet,
health in God's garden,
hope in God's children,
regeneration that peace will complete.

that every child of earth
should live and grow in freedom's ways,
in dignity and worth.

to serve each other's need,
for every cause of justice won,
for every fetter freed.
3 Our prayers are for a world in pain
where force and fear prevail,
the plough becomes the sword again,
and hope and harvests fail.
4 Alike our prayer and praise express
the wants of humankind,
that those in bondage and distress
their larger freedoms find.
5 So may we still maintain the fight
till earth's oppressions cease
before the universal right
to liberty and peace.

and spread his truth abroad;
and in his Name we lift our prayer:
'Your kingdom come, O Lord.' Scripture: Matthew 6:9-13 Used With Tune: LIVERPOOL
We bring you, Lord, our prayer and praise
