This Is God's Wondrous World
(VU 296, verse 3)
This is God's wondrous world:
O let me ne'er forget
That though the wrong
Seems oft so strong,
God is the ruler yet.
This is God's wondrous world:
why should my heart be sad?
Let voices sing,
Let the heavens ring:
God reigns, let earth be glad!




Praise Our Maker
(VU 316)

Praise our Maker,
Peoples of one family:
God is love, God is love!
Praise our Maker,
Peoples of one fsmily:
God is love, God is love!
 
Love our Saviour,
Followers of Jesus:
God is love, God is love!
Love our Saviour,
Followers of Jesus:
God is love, God is love!
Care for others,
Children of the Spirit:
God is love, God is love!
Care for others,
Children of the Spirit:
God is love, God is love!



Spirit of Gentleness
(VU375)

Refrain:
Spirit, Spirit of gentleness,
Blow through the wilderness
Calling and free;
Spirit, Spirit of restlessness,
Stir me from placidness,
Wind, wind on the sea.



You moved on the waters,
You called to the deep,
Then you coaxed up the mountains
From the valleys of sleep;
And over the eons
You called to each thing:
"Awake from your slumbers
And rise on your wings." R.
You swept through the desert,
You stung with the sand,
And you goaded your people
With a law and a land;
And when they were blinded
With idols and lies,
Then you spoke through your prophets
To open their eyes. R.

You sang in a stable,
You cried from a hill,
Then you whispered in silence
When the whole world was still;
And down in the city
You called once again,
When you blew through your people
On the rush of the wind. R.




You call from tomorrow,
You break ancient schemes.
From the bondage of sorrow
All the captives dream dreams;
Our women see visions,
Our men clear their eyes.
With bold new decisions
Your people arise. R.


One Bread, One Body
(VU 467)

R: One bread, one body,
One Lord of all,
One cup of blessing which we bless.
And we, though many,
Throughout the earth,
We are one body
In this one Lord.





Gentile or Jew,
Servant or free,
Woman or man, no more. R.

Many the gifts,
Many the works,
One in the Lord of all. R.

Grain for the fields,
Scattered and grown,
Gathered to one,
For all. R.


I Come with Joy
(VU 477)

I come with joy, a child of God,
Forgiven, loved and free,
The life of Jesus to recall,
In love laid down for me.
In love laid down for me.



I come with Christians far and near
To find, as all are fed,
The new community of love
In Christ's communion bread.
In Christ's communion bread.
As Christ breaks bread and bids us share,
Each proud division ends.
The love that made us, makes us one,
And strangers now are friends.
And strangers now are friends.

The Spirit of the risen Christ,
Unseen, but ever near,
Is in such friendship better known,
Alive among us here.
Alive among us here.
Together met, together bound
By all that God has done,
We'll go with joy, to give the world
The love that makes us one.
The love that makes us one.



We Are One (VU 402)

We are one as we come,
As we come, joyful to be here,
In the praise on our lips
There's a sense that God is near.
We are one as we sing,
As we seek, we are found;
And we come needful of God's grace
As we meet, together in this place.



We are one as we share,
As we share brokenness and fear,
In the touch of a hand
There's a sense that God is here.
We are one as we care,
As we heal, we are healed;
And we share warmth in God's embrace
As we pray together in this place.

We are one as we feast,
As we feast, peace becomes the sign;
In the bread and the wine
There's a sense of love divine.
We are one as we come,
As we feed, we are fed;
And we feel God's refreshing grace
As we meet at table in this place.


We are one as we hear,
As we hear, heart and hand unite;
In the word we receive
There's a sense that God is light.
We are one as we leave,
As we love, we are loved;
And we seek justice in God's ways
As we move together from this place.
