Lord God, your love has called us here

Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Hymnal: New Church Praise #57 (1975) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Confession and Penitence Lyrics: 1 Lord 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 all mankind. 3 Lord 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 Lord 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. Languages: English Tune Title: ABINGDON

Out of our failure to create

Author: Fred Kaan (b . 1929) Hymnal: New Church Praise #77 (1975) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Confession and Penitence Lyrics: 1 Out of our failure to create a world of love and care; out of the depths of human life we cry to God in prayer. 2 Out of the darkness of our time, of days for ever gone, our souls are longing for the light, like watchmen for the dawn. 3 Out of the depths we cry to him whose will is strong and just; all human hole-and-corner ways are by his light exposed. 4 Hope in the Lord whose timeless Jove gives laughter where we wept; the father, who at every point his word has given and kept.

We turn to you, O God of every nation

Author: Fred Kaan (b. 1929) Hymnal: New Church Praise #103 (1975) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Confession and Penitence Lyrics: 1 We turn to you, O God of every nation, giver of life and origin of good; your love is at the heart of all creation, your hurt is people's broken brotherhood. 2 We turn to you that we may be forgiven for crucifying Christ on earth again. We know that we have never wholly striven, forgetting self, to love the other man. 3 Free every heart from pride and self-reliance, our ways of thought inspire with simple grace; break down among us barriers of defiance, speak to the soul of all the human race. 4 Teach us, good Lord, to serve the need of others, help us to give and not to count the cost. Unite us all for we are born as brothers; defeat our Babel with your Pentecost. Languages: English Tune Title: INTERCESSOR
