forgiven, loved and free,
the life of Jesus to recall,
in love laid down for me,
in love laid down for me.

to find, as all are fed,
the new community of love
in Christ's communion bread,
in Christ's communion bread.

each proud division ends.
The love that made us, makes us one,
and strangers now are friends,
and strangers now are friends.
4 The Spirit of the risen Christ,
unseen, but ever near,
is in such friendship better known,
alive among us here,
alive among us here.

by all that God has done,
we'll go with joy, to give the world
the love that makes us one,
the love that makes us one. Topics: The Church Celebrates Holy Communion; Church unity and ecumenism; Reconciliation Used With Tune: DOVE OF PEACE

I would be Thine, and Thine alone;
And this the prayer my lips are bringing,
Lord, let in me Thy will be done.
Refrain:
Sweet will of God, still fold me closer,
Till I am wholly lost in Thee.

The darksome path hath dreary grown;
But now a light has ris’n to cheer me;
I find in Thee my Star, my Sun. [Refrain]

Doth now embrace and compass me;
All discords hushed, my peace a river,
My soul, a prisoned bird set free. [Refrain]

My wayward feet no more to roam;
What pow’r from Thee my soul can sever?
The center of God’s will my home.
