Help Us Accept Each Other
Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 24 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 18:21 Lyrics: 1 Help us accept each other
As Christ accepted us;
Teach us as sister, brother,
Each person to embrace.
Be present, Lord, among us
And bring us to believe
We are ourselves accepted
And meant to love and live.
2 Teach us, O Lord, Your lessons,
As in our daily life
We struggle to be human
And search for hope and faith
Teach us to care for people,
For all, not just for some,
To love them as we find them
Or as they may become.
3 Let Your acceptance change us,
So that we may be moved
In living situations
To do the truth in love;
To practice Your acceptance
Until we know by heart
The table of forgiveness
And laughter's healing art.
4 Lord, for today's encounters
With all who are in need,
Who hunger for acceptance,
For righteousness and bread,
We need new eyes for seeing,
New hands for holding on:
Renew us with Your Spirit;
Lord, free us, make us one! Used With Tune: BARONITA

The King of Love My Shepherd Is
Author: Henry Williams Baker, 1821-1877 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 677 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 18 Lyrics: 1 The King of love my shepherd is,
Whose goodness fails me never;
I nothing lack if I am his,
And he is mine forever.
2 Where streams of living water flow
With gentle care he leads me,
And where the verdant pastures grow,
With heav'nly food he feeds me.
3 Perverse and foolish I have strayed,
But yet in love he sought me,
And on his shoulder gently laid,
And home, rejoicing, brought me.
4 In death's dark vale I fear no ill
With you, dear Lord, beside me;
Your rod and staff my comfort still,
Your cross before to guide me.
5 You spread a table in my sight,
Your saving grace bestowing;
And O what joy and true delight
From your pure chalice flowing!
6 And so through all the length of days
Your goodness fails me never:
Good Shepherd, may I sing your praise
Within your house forever.

God, How Can We Forgive
When man's account to light is bro't
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 18:23-35 Lyrics: 1 When man's account to light is bro't,
Each wicked deed, each word and thought;
When in his conscience such appear,
His mind is fill'd with dread and fear.
2 The soul that is convinc'd of sin,
Will feel a deep distress within;
Finds neither comfort, peace or rest,
But feels a Hell within the breast.
3 The sins are numberless and great,
Then thousand talents is their weight;
The sinner sinks beneath the load,
In deep distress he cries to God.
4 Spare me O righteous God, I pray!
Until this dreadful debt I pay;
I will exert what pow'r I have,
Do all I can my soul to save.
5 But the efforts of human race
Could never merit saving grace:
God laid a better different plan,
To save the fallen race of man.
6 He sent his own beloved son,
Since none could save but he alone;
His death a full atonement made,
Thereby our awful debt was paid.
7 And thus redeem'd and thus set free;
How highly thankful should we be:
Like Jesus, willing to forgive
All injuries we may receive.
8 We can't expect to be forgiv'n,
Nor yet partake the joys of heav'n;
Unless we act the christian part,
Forgive all men with all our heart.

And for a world of sinful men
Thy spotless life to offer;
Thou bearest anguish, pain, and loss,
The mockers' score, the scourge, the cross,
To win for us salvation.

The scene of bitter anguish;
Thine eyes behold the Calvary
Where Thou in pain must languish;
The bleeding wounds, the bitter gall,
The crown of thorns, the judgment hall,
Thy burdened soul's affliction.
3 Thou art the Way, the Truth, the Life;
We pray Thee, Master, lead us
Away from earth's vain, restless strife;
With heavenly manna feed us.
Thou who hast died to save the lost,
Help us, dear Lord, to weigh the cost,
And follow Thee, our Saviour.

Author: Anna Hoppe Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 18:23-35 Lyrics: 1 O God of mercies, Father mine,
Drawn by Thy boundless love divine,
I come to Thee, a wayward child,
Bowed down by guilt, with sin defiled.
Relieve my burdened heart, I pray,
Dear Father, cast me not away.
In deep contrition I implore,
Remember Thou my sin no more.
Have mercy, Lord! Have mercy, Lord!
2 My blest Redeemer, Thy dear Son,
On Calvary my ransom won.
The Friend of sinners died for me,
To reconcile me unto Thee.
The curse of Law for me He bore.
For His dear sake, My God, restore
Salvation's holy joy to me.
Hark to a contrite sinner's plea:
Forgive me, Lord! Forgive me, Lord!
3 Thy Holy Spirit, through Thy word,
Assures me of Thy grace, dear Lord.
My risen High Priest intercedes,
His holy blood for pardon pleads.
Wash Thou me in that crimson flow,
And I shall be as white as snow.
Remove my sin-stained carnal dress,
Grant me Christ's robe of righteousness.
O cleanse me, Lord! O cleanse me, Lord!
4 Thy loving-kindness I shall praise,
O gracious Lord, through all my days.
Grant Thou me grace, while here I live,
In true compassion to forgive,
And unto erring brethren show
The love Thou didst on me bestow
Till, glorified by grace, my God,
In realms on high Thy Name I laud
Forevermore! Forevermore~
Amen.

the giver of this day.
For rest and safety through the night
receive our thanks we pray.
We venture forth into this day
upon the paths you set.
So use us in your service, Lord,
wherever need is met.
2 We gather in the name of Christ
to bless your holy name.
You touch us in our hops and fears
our triumph and our pain.
You give us power to be new,
removing our regret.
You send us forth to share good news
wherever need is met.
3 The orphaned child whose past is lost
to brokenness and pain.
The anxious young confused with choice
which offers loss or gain.
The eager student working hard,
yet caught in worry's net;
so use us, Lord, with each of these,
wherever need is met.
4 So shall we love and serve you, Lord,
Good Shepherd of our days.
And trust you on this path of life
to guide in faithful ways.
When threatened by the shade of death,
still we shall trust you yet,
to draw us wholly to yourself,
for there all need is met. Used With Tune: GALLANT

the loving words, forgiving words that take the sting away.
God, give me calm to ride the storm when waves of anger rise,
a moment when I grasp a truth my lesser self denies.

the easy words of politics that kill creation’s joy;
the speeches that proliferate economies of greed;
the thieves of children’s heritage, the poison in the seed.
3 God, give me time to meet your Word, transforming as I go
my little world, my larger world, by all I do and know;
encountering in others’ faith the wisdom and the grace
that Jesus Christ was born to bring, and gave a human face. Topics: Anger; Conflict; Forgiveness; Humility; Peace Interpersonal; Reconciliation Used With Tune: SEACHRIST
