Take hands with the oppressed, the jobless in your street, take towel and water, that you wash your neighbour's feet. 3 Community of Christ, through whom the word must sound - cry out for justice and for peace the whole world round: disarm the powers that war and all that can destroy, turn bombs to bread, and tears of anguish into joy. 4 When menace melts away, so shall God's will be done, the climate of the world be peace and Christ its Sun; our currency be love and kindliness our law, our food and faith be shared as one for evermore.

To him my spirit clings, on him my soul is cast; beneath the shadow of his wings he holds me fast. 3 God is my strong defense in every evil hour; in him I face with confidence the tempter's power. I trust his mercy sure with truth and triumph crowned: my hope and joy forevermore in him are found.
