he gave his only Son,
who was born by the Spirit from heaven
and came and lived as one of us.
2 His blood for our sins was shed;
his love is without end!
He has given us the fullness of life,
to live in heaven with him.
3 And so we give glory to Christ,
for he alone is Lord.
Every colour and race is his own,
the Saviour of the universe. Topics: Aboriginal and Torres Strait; Devotion; Eternal Life; Eucharist; God's Love to Us; Jesus Christ Humanity; Jesus Christ Redeemer; Salvation; Unity of Humanity Used With Tune: MILINGIMBI Text Sources: Aboriginal people of Amhem Land

The limit of my way. [Refrain]

As Abraham and Sarah
Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:13 Lyrics: 1 As Abraham and Sarah
once heeded your command,
and left their home to journey
into a strange, new land,
God, may we too be ready
to listen when you call,
and find the faith to answer
that we may give our all.
2 As Moses led the Hebrews
across the desert sand,
through wilderness and danger
to reach the Promised Land,
God, may we bravely follow
wherever you may lead,
and find hope in your promise
to care for every need.
3 As Jesus welcomed children,
restored sight to the blind,
forgave the sins of strangers,
and healed a troubled mind,
God, may we show your mercy,
compassion, kindness too,
and find Christ’s love embodied
in all we say and do.
4 For faith to make life’s journey,
for hope that leads us on,
for love that yields compassion
and seeks to right each wrong,
God, for these gifts we thank you,
and offer you our praise.
With thankful hearts we promise
to serve you all our days.

Love Is Enduring
Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Meter: 9.9.9.9 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 First Line: Love is enduring, bearing all things Lyrics: 1 Love is enduring, bearing all things,
suffering the sorrow loving may bring.
Love is forgiving, welcoming home
sinner and stranger, lost and alone.
2 Love is unselfish, patient and kind,
gentle in spirit, steadfast in mind,
willing to give one’s life for a friend.
Love is eternal, love has no end.
3 Love is incarnate, love is divine,
more than a token, more than a sign.
Love is a presence, casting out fear,
warming our hearts, and drawing us near.
(alternate stanza for Communion)
Love is incarnate, love is divine,
broken in bread and poured out in wine,
Come, all believers, come and draw near!
Love resurrected waits for you here.

If we could speak all tongues of earth and heaven
Author: Rob Atkins Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13 Lyrics: 1 If we could speak all tongues of earth and heavn
but have not love our prophecy is vain;
though every mystery to us is open
to talk of love will be an empty claim.
But love is swift to clear misunderstanding,
love is not proud, insisting on display
and love is rich in patient understanding:
grant us, oh Lord of love to seek the better way.
2 If we should give to others when we prosper
but have not love, we fail the final test:
if we should place our substance on the altar,
our sacrifice, if boastful, is not blessed.
For love is clean and clear in its intentions,
lifts up its face to face the light of day,
love is pure harmony without pretension:
grant us, oh Lord of love to find the better way.
3 If by our faith we make the mountains tremble
but have not love, then nothing do we win:
we are but noisy gongs or clanging cymbals
condemned to sink to silence in the end.
But love is always faithful in rejoicing,
lifts up a song of hope that never fails
love is a choir of perfect blended voices:
grant us, oh Lord of love to choose the better way.
4 When we were young we fought for worldly glory,
but worldly ways in time all have to die.
We see in part as in a mirror darkly
and wait in hope for love’s bright sun to rise.
Faith, hope and love, these three remain our story
but faith and hope will vanish in the day;
as we await love’s triumph in the glory
grant us, oh Lord of love to love the better way. Used With Tune: LONDONDERRY AIR
