646. Your Love, O God, Has All Mankind Created

1 Your love, O God, has all mankind created,
And led your people to this present hour.
In Christ we see love's glory consummated,
Your spirit manifests his living power.

2 We bring you, Lord, in fervent intercession
The children of your world-wide family;
With contrite hearts we offer our confession,
For we have sinned against your charity.

3 In pity look upon your children's striving
For life and freedom, peace and brotherhood,
Till, at the fullness of your truth arriving,
We find in Christ the crown of every good.

4 Inspire the church, mid earth's discordant voices,
To preach the gospel of her Lord above;
Until the day this warring world rejoices
To heart the mighty harmonies of love.

5 Until the tidings men have long awaited,
From north to south, from east to west shall ring;
And all mankind, by Jesus liberated,
Proclaims in jubilation Christ is King!

Amen.
