Freedom and life are ours
Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #544 (1987) Topics: Pentecost 4 The Freedom God Gives Lyrics: 1 Freedom and life are ours
for Christ has set us free!
never again submit to powers
that lead to slavery:
Christ is the Lord who breaks
our chains, our bondage ends,
Christ is the rescuer who makes
the helpless slaves his friends.
2 Called by the Lord to use
our freedom and be strong,
not letting liberty excuse
a life of blatant wrong:
freed from the law's stern hand
God's gift of grace to prove,
know that the law's entire demand
is gladly met by love.
3 Spirit of God, come, fill,
emancipate us all!
speak to us, Word of truth, until
before his throne we fall:
glory and liberty
our Father has decreed,
and if the Son shall make us free
we shall be free indeed! Scripture: Galatians 5:1 Languages: English Tune Title: FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH
Freedom and life are ours
Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us
Author: J. Edmeston (1791-1867) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #595 (1987) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Pentecost 4 The Freedom God Gives Lyrics: 1 Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us
o'er the world's tempestuous sea;
guard us, guide us, keep us, feed us —
for we have no help but thee,
yet possessing every blessing
if our God our Father be.
2 Saviour, breathe forgiveness o'er us:
all our weakness thou dost know,
thou didst tread this earth before us,
thou didst feel its keenest woe;
through the dreary desert, weary,
in obedience thou didst go.
3 Spirit of our God, descending,
fill our hearts with heavenly joy,
love with every passion blending,
pleasure that can never cloy;
thus provided, pardoned, guided,
nothing can our peace destroy. Languages: English Tune Title: MANNHEIM
Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us
