Author: Fred Kaan, b. 1929 Hymnal: GAP2015 #517 (2015) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 For the healing of the nations,
Lord, we pray with one accord;
For a just and equal sharing
Of the things that earth affords.
To a life of love and action
Help us rise and pledge our word.
2 Lead us now, Lord, into freedom,
From despair your world release;
That redeemed from war and hatred,
All may come and go in peace.
Show us how through care and goodness
Fear will die and hope increase.
3 You, creator God, have written
Your great name on humankind;
For our growing in your likeness
Bring the life of Christ to mind:
That by our response and service
Earth its destiny may find. Topics: Christian Life; Christian Life; Christian Life; Healing; Justice; Love for Others; Ministry/Mission; Peace; Social Concern; Trust Scripture: Genesis 1:26 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. THOMAS (TANTUM ERGO)
