Author: Joy F. Patterson Hymnal: Celebrating Grace Hymnal #649 (2010) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Calling-to Service Lyrics: 1 Christ, You call us all to service,
call us all who follow You;
plant in us a deep commitment
all Your work and will to do.
Fire a passion for Your justice,
in us kindle love of peace;
help us heal the brokenhearted,
to the captive bring release.
2 Teach us how to work together,
brothers, sisters, side by side;
equal partners in the struggle,
in the cause of truth allied.
To each one some gift is given,
man or woman, young or old;
help us use each skill and talent
Your great purpose to unfold.
3 Let us be a servant people,
reconciling, ending strife;
seeking ways more just of sharing
and of ordering human life.
Fill us with a glowing vision
of this world as it should be;
send us forth to change that vision
into blest reality. Languages: English Tune Title: IN BABILONE
Christ, You Call Us All to Service
