God of freedom, God of justice
Author: Shirley Erena Murray (b. 1931) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #263 (2005) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 God of freedom, God of justice,
God whose love is strong as death,
Christ who saw the dark of prison,
Christ who knew the price of faith:
touch our world of sad oppression
with your Spirit's healing breath.
2 Rid the earth of torture's terror,
you whose hands were nailed to wood;
hear the cries of pain and protest,
you who shed the tears and blood;
move in us the power of pity
to pursue the common good.
3 Make in us a captive conscience
quick to hear, to act, to plead;
make us truly sisters, brothers
of whatever race or creed --
teach us to be fully human,
open to each other's need. Topics: Our Response to God in intercession and petition; God in judgement and justice; Unity of Humanity Scripture: 1 John 3:16-18 Languages: English Tune Title: PICARDY
