Break not the circle of enabling love
Author: Fred Kaan (b. 1929) Meter: 10.11.10.11 Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 Break not the circle of enabling love
where people grow, forgiven and forgiving;
break not that circle - make it wider still,
till it includes, embraces all the living.
2 Come, wonder at this love that comes to life,
where words of freedom are with humour spoken
and people keep no score of wrong and guilt,
but will that human bonds remain unbroken.
3 Sing high! Give thanks for all who came and come
to teach the world the craft of hopeful craving
for peace and wholeness that will fill the earth,
for faith that stirs us to creative living.
4 Join then the movement of the love that frees,
till people of whatever race or nation
will truly be themselves, stand on their feet,
see eye to eye with laughter and elation. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in the worship of God's house; Arts and Creativity; Church nature of; Love for others; Reconciliation Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:9-10 Used With Tune: ROBERT

Today I live, one day shall come my death
Author: Fred Kaan (b. 1929) Meter: 10.11.10.11 Appears in 5 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 Today I live, one day shall come my death;
one day shall still my laughter and my crying,
bring to a halt my heartbeat and my breath:
Oh, give me faith for living and for dying.
2 How I shall die, or when, I do not know,
nor where, for endless is the world's horizon;
but save me, God, from thoughts that lay me low,
from morbid fears that freeze my power of reason.
3 When earthly life shall close, as close it must,
let Jesus be my brother and my merit.
Let me without regret recall the past,
and then, into your hands commit my spirit.
4 Meanwhile I live and move and I am glad,
enjoy this life and all its interweaving
each given day, as I take up the thread,
let love suggest my mode, my mood of living. Topics: The Church Celebrates Death and Grieving; Trust Scripture: 2 John 5-6 Used With Tune: ROBERT
