Strengthen for service, Lord, the hands
Great God, your love has called us here
Author: Brian A. Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Scripture: James 3:9 Lyrics: 1 Great God, your love has called us here,
as we, by love, for love were made.
Your living likeness still we bear,
though marred, dishonoured, disobeyed.
We come, with all our heart and mind
your call to hear, your love to find.
2 We come with self-inflicted pains
of broken trust and chosen wrong,
half-free, half-bound by inner chains,
by social forces swept along,
by powers and systems close confined,
yet seeking hope for humankind.
3 Great God, in Christ you call our name,
and then receive us as your own,
not through some merit, right or claim,
but by your gracious love alone.
We strain to glimpse your mercy-seat
and find you kneeling at our feet.
4 Then take the towel, and break the bread,
and humble us, and call us friends.
Suffer and serve till all are fed,
and show how grandly love intends
to work till all creation sings,
to fill all worlds, to crown all things.
5 Great God, in Christ you set us free
your life to live, your joy to share.
Give us your Spirit's liberty
to turn from guilt and dull despair,
and offer all that faith can do,
while love is making all things new. Used With Tune: RYBURN
Great God, your love has called us here

turn thou for us its darkness into light;
from harm and danger keep thy servants free;
for dark and light are both alike to thee.
3 Grant us thy peace throughout our earthly life;
peace to thy Church from error and from strife;
peace to our land, the fruit of truth and love;
peace in each heart, thy Spirit from above:
4 Thy peace in sorrow, balm of every pain;
thy peace in death, the hope to rise again;
then, when thy voice shall bid our conflict cease,
call us, O Lord, to thine eternal peace. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in the morning and evening; God peace of; Purity Of Heart Used With Tune: ELLERS

By a single angry word. [Refrain] Topics: Love brotherly; Unity & Peace Used With Tune: [Angry words! O let them never] Text Sources: Sunday School Teacher, 1867
