love you with all our heart and strength and mind?
I see your cross--there teach my heart to cling.

and that future years shall see,
evermore and evermore.

he commanded; it was done:
heaven and earth and depths of ocean,
universe of three in one;
all that sees the moon's soft shining,
all that breathes beneath the sun,

when the Virgin, full of grace,
by the Spirit's power conceiving,
bore the Saviour of our race,
and the Babe, the world's Redeemer,
first revealed his sacred face,
evermore and evermore.
4 This is he whom seers and sages
sang of old with one accord,
whom the voices of the prophets
promised in their faithful word;
now he shines, the long-expected;
let creation praise its Lord,
evermore and evermore.
5 All the heights of heaven, adore him;
angel hosts, his praises sing;
powers, dominions bow before him,
and extol our God and King;
let no tongue on earth be silent,
every voice in concert ring,
evermore and evermore.

and, O Holy Ghost, to thee,

Oh, teach us, whatsoe'er betide,
To love them all in Thee!

Whate'er it be, 'tis ours to share;
May we, when help is needed, there
Give help as unto Thee!

Till Thou shalt greet in heaven above
All those who live to Thee.

O God, we bear the imprint of your face
Author: Shirley Erena Murray (b. 1931) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Luke 10:25-37 Lyrics: 1 O God, we bear the imprint of your face:
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 Used With Tune: SONG 1

The duty first on us enjoin'd
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Luke 10:23-37 Lyrics: 1 The duty first on us enjoin'd,
That is to love the Lord:
With all our hearts, and all our mind,
And all we can afford.
2 The next command is full as great,
To love our neighbours too--
Of like importance, and of weight,
As all the scriptures shew.
3 If we love God with all our heart;
Then sure it must succeed;
We ne'er neglect to act our part,
To those who are in need.
4 All acts of mercy God respects!
Far more than sacrifice;
For such are they which he directs:
And ever highly prize.
5 That soul can never be impress'd,
With love and grace divine;
Who will not feel for the distress'd,
To bear them on their mind.
6 Where words and actions don't agree,
Profession is in vain.
For love to God there cannot be,
Where there is none to men.
7 All such religion is but mock,
A tree without a root:
Where it consists of only talk,
And not of genuine fruit. Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity
The duty first on us enjoin'd
