as Christ accepted us;
teach us as sister, brother,
each person to embrace.
Be present, Lord, among us
and bring us to believe
we are ourselves accepted,
and meant to love and live.
2 Teach us, O Lord, your lessons,
as in our daily life
we struggle to be human
and search for hope and faith.
Teach us to care for people,
for all, not just for some,
to love them as we find them,
or as they may become.
3 Let your acceptance change us,
so that we may be moved
in living situations to do the truth in love;
to practice your acceptance
until we know by heart
the table of forgiveness,
and laughter's healing art.
4 Lord, for today's encounters
with all who are in need,
who hunger for acceptance,
for righteousness and bread,
we need new eyes for seeing,
new hands for holding on;
renew us with your Spirit,
Lord, free us, make us one!

We must be merciful and kind
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Luke 6:36-42 Lyrics: 1 We must be merciful and kind,
If we possess the Saviours mind;
In enmity we dare not live,
But freely pardon and forgive.
2 The soul with spite and wrath oppress'd
Can ne'er attain to peace and rest!
But slavish fear, and guilt and pain,
Must ever on that heart remain.
3 Dare we a right to heaven claim,
Though we profess the Christian name;
Whilst we still lack the nobler part,
The love of God to rule the heart.
4 To love our friends, and them alone,
That would be net to loving none;
To love a friend, but not a foe,
Such love hath ev'ry Heathen too.
5 But O, it is a diff'rent case
With those, who are the sons of grace!
Not eye for eye, nor tooth for tooth,
Say they, who love the word of truth.
6 What ill in other men I see,
The very same I find in me;
For when I search myself within,
I find the best I do is sin.
Topics: Fourth Sunday after Trinity

yet hosts of heaven adore you
and tremble as they gaze.
2 What language shall I borrow
to praise you, heavenly friend,
for this your dying sorrow,
your mercy without end?
Such agony and dying!
Such love to sinners free!
O Christ, all grace supplying,
turn now your face on me.
3 In this your bitter Passion,
good Shepherd, think of me,
look on me with compassion,
unworthy though I be:
beneath your cross abiding
for ever would I rest,
in your dear love confiding,
and with your presence blessed.
4 Lord, be my consolation,
my shield when death is near;
remind me of your Passion,
be with me when I fear.
My eyes shall then behold you,
upon your cross shall dwell,
my heart by faith enfold you;
and who dies thus, dies well.

I must and ought to speak,
then fill my words with grace
lest I offend the weak.

with kindly words and actions,
and let me find good friends
for counsel and correction.

to love both great and small
and by your Spirit's might
to live in peace with all.
