Help Us Accept Each Other
Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 24 hymnals Scripture: Romans 15:7 Lyrics: 1 Help us accept each other
As Christ accepted us;
Teach us as sister, brother,
Each person to embrace.
Be present, Lord, among us
And bring us to believe
We are ourselves accepted
And meant to love and live.
2 Teach us, O Lord, Your lessons,
As in our daily life
We struggle to be human
And search for hope and faith
Teach us to care for people,
For all, not just for some,
To love them as we find them
Or as they may become.
3 Let Your acceptance change us,
So that we may be moved
In living situations
To do the truth in love;
To practice Your acceptance
Until we know by heart
The table of forgiveness
And laughter's healing art.
4 Lord, for today's encounters
With all who are in need,
Who hunger for acceptance,
For righteousness and bread,
We need new eyes for seeing,
New hands for holding on:
Renew us with Your Spirit;
Lord, free us, make us one! Used With Tune: BARONITA

Dear Christ, Uplifted from the Earth
Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Scripture: Romans 15:7 Lyrics: 1 Dear Christ, uplifted from the earth,
your arms stretched out above
through every culture, every birth,
to draw an answering love.
2 Still east and west your love extends
and always, near and far,
you call and claim us as your friends
and love us as we are.
3 Where age and gender, class and race,
divide us to our shame,
you see a person and a face,
a neighbour with a name.
4 May we, accepted as we are,
yet called in grace to grow,
reach out to others, near and far,
your healing love to show. Used With Tune: McKEE

Hymn 113
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 153 hymnals Scripture: Romans 15:8 First Line: How large the promise, how divine Lyrics:
How large the promise, how divine,
To Abram and his seed!
"I'll be a God to thee and thine,
Supplying all their need."
The words of his extensive love
From age to age endure;
The Angel of the cov'nant proves,
And seals the blessing sure.
Jesus the ancient faith confirms,
To our great fathers giv'n;
He takes young children to his arms,
And calls them heirs of heav'n.
Our God, how faithful are his ways!
His love endures the same;
Nor from the promise of his grace
Blots out the children's name.

Wrought by no hand but thine own;
So in my field I would labor,
Tho’ it be small and unknown. [Chorus]

Meekly thou suffered the cross;
So would I take up my trials,
Counting them gain and not loss. [Chorus]

Living and dying for love;
So would I daily be spending,
Till I shall meet thee above. [Chorus]
