Community of Christ

Author: Shirley Erana Murray Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Church Mission in the World Lyrics: 1 Community of Christ, who make the Cross your own, live out your creed and risk your life for God alone: The God who wears your face, to whom all worlds belong, whose children are of every race and every song. 2 Community of Christ, look past the church's door and see the refugee, the hungry, and the poor. Take hands with the oppressed, the jobless in your street, take towel and water, that you wash your neighbor's feet. 3 Community of Christ, through whom the word must sound - cry out for justice and for peace the whole world 'round: Disarm the powers that war and all that can destroy, turn bombs to bread, and tears of anguish into joy. 4 When menace melts away, so shall God's will be done, the climate of the world be peace and Christ its Sun; Our currency be love and kindliness our law, our food and faith be shared as one for evermore.

A-men. 3 Tie in a living tether The prince and priest and thrall, Bind all our lives together, Smite us and save us all; In ire and exultation, Aflame with faith, and free, Lift up a living nation, A single sword to thee.

Old now is earth, and none may count her days, Yet thou, her child, whose head is crowned with flame, Still wilt not hear thine inner God proclaim, 'Turn back, O man, forswear thy foolish ways.' 2 Earth might be fair, and all men glad and wise. Age after age their tragic empires rise, Built while they dream, and in that dreaming weep: Would man but wake from out his haunted sleep, Earth might be fair, and all men glad and wise. 3 Earth shall be fair, and all her people one; Nor till that hour shall God's whole will be done. Now, even now, once more from earth to sky, Peals forth in joy man's old, undaunted cry, 'Earth shall be fair, and all her folk be one!' Used With Tune: OLD 124th
