Author: John Edgar Park Hymnal: The Worshipbook #485 (1972) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: O Christ, whose love hast sought us out Lyrics: 1 O Christ, whose love has sought us out
Alone and lost in desert ways;
We gather round your cross again
In wonder and united praise.
2 Your life is still the miracle,
Our way of living far above,
Be yond the reaches of our minds:
We cannot understand; we love.
3 Ancestral gifts within our hands,
The cherished treasures from the past,
We lay before your feet, O Lord:
Cleanse, use them, make them yours at last.
4 So may we all be one in you,
Whose revelations never cease,
Whose love and truth are ever new,
And in whose service is our peace.
Amen. Topics: Service for the Lord's Day Conclusion of Worship; Acts of the Church Confirmation; Christian Year Lent; Other Observances Ecumenism Scripture: Romans 8:37-39 Tune Title: DAS NEUGEBORNE KINDELEIN
