Hymn 126
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 27 hymnals Scripture: Romans 14:17 First Line: Not diff'rent food, or diff'rent dress Lyrics:
Not diff'rent food, or diff'rent dress,
Compose the kingdom of our Lord;
But peace, and joy, and righteousness,
Faith, and obedience to his word.
When weaker Christians we despise,
We do the gospel mighty wrong;
For God, the gracious and the wise,
Receives the feeble with the strong.
Let pride and wrath be banished hence;
Meekness and love our souls pursue;
Nor shall our practice give offence
To saints, the Gentile or the Jew.

Lord, let thy blessing rest in peace
Author: Joseph Smith, 1832-1914 Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Romans 14:19 Lyrics: 1 Lord, let thy blessing rest in peace
Upon us ere we part,
Nor let that blessing ever cease
To cheer the contrite heart.
2 Let us go hence in deepest thought
Upon thy bounteous love
To find how much that love has wrought
To lift our souls above.
3 We go from out these hallowed walls
To toil in wearying care,
To seek supply for daily calls,
And daily burdens bear.
4 Cheer us, blest Lord, for daily tasks,
That we may love and live;
For peace each saint in parting asks,
The peace that Christ can give.

Break not the circle of enabling love
Author: Fred Kaan (b. 1929) Meter: 10.11.10.11 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Romans 14:19 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 Used With Tune: ROBERT
