God Is Love
Author: Timothy Rees, 1874-1939 Hymnal: Journeysongs (3rd ed.) #715 (2012) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Hymnal Title: Journeysongs (3rd ed.) First Line: 1 Not for tongues of heaven's angels, not for wisdom to discern, not for faith that masters mountains, for this better gift we yearn: Refrain: May love be ours, may love be ours, O Lord. 2 Love is humble, love is gentle, love is tender, true and kind; l Lyrics: 1 God is Love, let heav'n adore him;
God is Love, let earth rejoice;
Let creation sing before him
And exalt him with one voice.
God who laid the earth's foundation,
God who spread the heav'ns above,
God who breathes through all creation:
God is Love, eternal Love.
2 God is Love; and love enfolds us,
All the world in one embrace:
With unfailing grasp God hold us,
Ev'ry child of ev'ry race.
And when human hearts are breaking
Under sorrow's iron rod,
Then we find that selfsame aching
Deep within the heart of God.
3 God is Love; and though with blindness
Sin afflicts all human life,
God's eternal loving kindness
Guides us through our earthly strife.
Sin and death and hell shall never
O'er us final triumph gain;
God is Love, so Love for ever
O'er the universe must reign.

Wait the coming of his Spirit
Into open minds and hearts.

Here in silence as in speech,
Here in newness and renewal

In the Shepherd's flock and fold;

What it means in daily living
To believe and to adore.

In an age of change and doubt,

Lord, You Give the Great Commission

"Heal the sick and preach the Word."
Lest the church neglect its mission
and the gospel go unheard,
help us witness to your purpose
with renewed integrity;
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry.
2 Lord, you call us to your service:
"In my name baptize and teach."
That the world may trust your promise -
life abundant meant for each -
give us all new fervor, draw us
closer in community;
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry.
3 Lord, you make the common holy:
"This my body, this my blood."
Let us all, for earth's true glory,
daily lift life heavenward,
asking that the world around us
share your children's liberty;
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry.
4 Lord, you show us love's true measure:
"Father, what they do, forgive."
Yet we hoard as private treasure
all that you so freely give.
May your care and mercy lead us
to a just society;
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry.
5 Lord, you bless with words assuring:
"I am with you to the end."
Faith and hope and love restoring,
may we serve as you intend,
and, amid the cares that claim us,
hold in mind eternity;
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry. Topics: Spread of the Gospel; Christian Service; Commissioning; Gifts of the Spirit; Justice; Ministry; Spread of the Gospel; Spread of the Gospel Scripture: Matthew 28:16-20 Languages: English Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH
