Author: Brian Arthur Wren, 1936- Hymnal: Together in Song #468 (1999) Meter: 5.4.5.5.7 Topics: Unity of Humanity Lyrics: 1 We are your people;
Spirit of grace,
you dare to make us
to all our neighbours
Christ's living voice, hands and face.
2 Joined in community,
treasured and fed,
may we discover
gifts in each other,
willing to lead and be led
3 Rich in diversity,
help us to live
closer than neighbours,
open to strangers,
able to clash and forgive.
4 Glad of tradition,
help us to see
in all life's changing,
where you are leading,
where our best efforts should be.
5 Give, as we venture
justice and care
(peaceful, resisting,
waiting or risking)
wisdom to know when and where.
6 Christ, as we serve you
in different ways,
may all we're doing
show that you're living,
meeting your love with our praise. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 Languages: English Tune Title: WHITFIELD
We are your people
