We turn to you, O God of every nation

Author: Fred Kaan (b. 1929) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Confession and Penitence Lyrics: 1 We turn to you, O God of every nation, giver of life and origin of good; your love is at the heart of all creation, your hurt is people's broken brotherhood. 2 We turn to you that we may be forgiven for crucifying Christ on earth again. We know that we have never wholly striven, forgetting self, to love the other man. 3 Free every heart from pride and self-reliance, our ways of thought inspire with simple grace; break down among us barriers of defiance, speak to the soul of all the human race. 4 Teach us, good Lord, to serve the need of others, help us to give and not to count the cost. Unite us all for we are born as brothers; defeat our Babel with your Pentecost. Used With Tune: INTERCESSOR

Thou alone my Saviour art, Teach Thy wisdom to my heart; Make me pure, Thy grace bestow, Wash me whiter than the snow. 4 Broken, humbled to the dust By Thy wrath and judgment just, Let my contrite heart rejoice And in gladness hear Thy voice; From my sins O hide Thy face, Blot them out in boundless grace. 5 Gracious God, my heart renew, Make my spirit right and true; Cast me not away from Thee, Let Thy Spirit dwell in me; Thy salvation's joy impart, Steadfast make my willing heart.

And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When God, the mighty Maker, died For man the creature's sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While His dear cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away; 'Tis all that I can do.
