O God, we bear the imprint of your face
Author: Shirley Erena Murray (b. 1931) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Mark 2:13-17 Lyrics: 1 O God, we bear the imprint of your face:
the colours of our skin are your design,
and what we have of beauty in our race
as man or woman, you alone define,
who stretched a living fabric on our frame
and gave to each a language and a name.
2 Where we are torn and pulled apart by hate
because our race, our skin is not the same;
while we are judged unequal by the state
and victims made because we own our name --
humanity reduced to little worth
dishonoured is Your living face on earth.
3 O God, we share the image of your Son
whose flesh and blood are ours, whatever skin,
in his humanity we find our own,
and in his family our proper kin:
Christ is the brother we still crucify,
his love the language we must learn, or die. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in mission and service; Our Response to God in mission and service; Unity of Humanity Used With Tune: SONG 1

We Would See Jesus; Lo! His Star is Shining
Author: J. Edgar Park Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 69 hymnals Scripture: Mark 2:14 Lyrics: 1 We would see Jesus; lo! his star is shining,
above the stable while the angels sing;
in manger humble on the hay reclining,
haste, let us lay our gifts before the King.
2 We would see Jesus; Mary's son most holy,
Light of the village life from day to day;
shines revealed through ev'ry task most lowly,
the Christ of God, the Life, the Truth, the Way.
3 We would see Jesus; on the mountain teaching,
with all the list'ning people gathered round;
while birds and flow'rs and sky above are preaching
the blessedness which simple trust has found.
4 We would see Jesus; in his work of healing,
that joyful evening when the sun was set;
divine and human, in his deep revealing
of God made flesh, in loving service meet.
5 We would see Jesus; in the early morning,
still, as of old he calleth, "Follow me";
let us arise, all meaner service scorning;
Lord, we are thine; we give ourselves to thee.
