the colours of our skin are your design,
and what we have of beauty in our race
as man or woman, you alone define,
who stretched a living fabric on our frame
and gave to each a language and a name.
2 Where we are torn and pulled apart by hate
because our race, our skin is not the same,
while we are judged unequal by the state
and victims made because we own our name --
humanity reduced to little worth,
dishonoured is Your living face on earth.
3 O God, we share the image of your Son
whose flesh and blood are ours, whatever skin,
in his humanity we find our own,
and in his family our proper kin:
Christ is the brother we still crucify,
his love the language we must learn, or die. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in mission and service; Our Response to God in mission and service; Unity of Humanity Scripture: Acts 17:26 Languages: English Tune Title: SONG 1

one with the grief that trembles into prayer,

to follow truth, and so to find you near. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in intercession and petition; Unity of Humanity Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:16 Languages: English Tune Title: SONG 1

that all thy Church might be for ever one,
grant us at every eucharist to say
with longing heart and soul, 'Thy will be done.'
Oh, may we all one bread, one body be,
one through this sacrament of unity.
2 For all thy Church, O Lord, we intercede;
make thou our sad divisions soon to cease;
draw us the nearer each to each, we plead,
by drawing all to thee, O Prince of Peace;
thus may we all one bread, one body be,
one through this sacrament of unity.
3 We pray thee too for wanderers from thy fold;
O bring them back, good Shepherd of the sheep,
back to the faith which saints believed of old,
back to the Church which still that faith doth keep;
soon may we all one bread, one body be,
one through this sacrament of unity.
4 So, Lord, at length when sacraments shall cease,
may we be one with all thy Church above,
one with thy saints in one unbroken peace,
one with thy saints in one unbounded love:
more blessèd still, in peace and love to be
one with the Trinity in Unity. Topics: The Holy Spirit The Church Celebrates - Holy Communion; Church unity and ecumenism; Communion of Saints Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 Languages: English Tune Title: SONG 1

and all is darkened in the vale of tears,
then you shall better know his love, his heart,
who comes to soothe your sorrow, calm your fears.
Be still, my soul: for Jesus can repay
from his own fullness all he takes away.

when we shall be for ever with the Lord,
when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
sorrow forgotten, love’s pure joys restored.

all safe and blessèd we shall meet at last.

Psalm 124
Hymnal: HGSP2008 #84 (2008) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10 First Line: Now Israel may say, and that truly Lyrics: 1 Now Israel may say, and that truly,
if that the Lord had not our cause maintained;
if that the Lord had not our right sustained,
when cruel men against us furiously
rose up in wrath, to make of us their prey;
2 Then certainly they had devoured us all,
and swallowed quick, for aught that we could deem;
such was their rage, as we might well esteem.
And as fierce floods before them all things drown,
so had they brought our soul to death quite down.
3 The raging streams, with their proud swelling waves,
had then our soul o'erwhelmèd in the deep.
But blest be God, who doth us safely keep,
and hath not given us for a living prey
unto their teeth, and bloody cruelty.
4 Even as a bird out of the fowler's snare
escapes away, so is our soul set free:
broke are their nets, and thus escapèd we.
Therefore our help is in the Lord's great Name,
who heaven and earth by his great power did frame. Topics: Deliverance; Nation and Society; Remembrance Sunday Scripture: Psalm 124 Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 124TH

we are not perfect till we find the seven;
