Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.8.5.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: John 17:21 Lyrics: 1 Lord Christ, the Father's mighty Son,
whose work upon the cross was done
to give and receive,
make all our scattered churches one
that the world may believe.
2 To make us one your prayers were said,
to make us one you broke the bread
for all to receive;
its pieces scatter us instead:
how can others believe?
3 Lord Christ, forgive us, make us new!
What our designs could never do
your love can achieve.
Our prayers, our work, we bring to you
that the world may believe.
4 We will not question or refuse
the way you work, the means you choose,
the pattern you weave;
but reconcile our warring views
that the world may believe. Topics: Hymns with Descants Used With Tune: EAST MEADS
