Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #325 (1993) Meter: 8.4.8.4 First Line: Love makes a bridge from heart to heart Lyrics: 1 Love makes a bridge from heart to heart, and hand to hand.
Love finds a way when laws are blind,
and freedom banned.
2 Love breaks the walls of language,
gender, class, and age.
Love gives us wings to slip the bars
of every cage.
3 Love lifts the hopes that force and fear
have beaten down.
Love breaks the chains and gives us strength
to stand our ground.
4 Love rings the bells of wanted birth
and wedding day.
Love guides the hands that promise more
than words can say.
5 Love makes a bridge that winds may shake,
yet not destroy.
Love carries faith through life and death,
to endless joy. Topics: Humanist Teachings Humanity: Women and Men; Marriage and Services of Union; Social Justice Languages: English Tune Title: EMERY
