O God, We Bear the Imprint of Your Face

Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #585 (1995) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Topics: Confession of Sin Lyrics: 1 O God, we bear the imprint of your face: the colors 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, dishonored is your living face on earth. 3 O God, we share the image of the One whose flesh and blood are ours, whatever skin; in Christ's humanity we find our own, and in your family our proper kin: Jesus our brother we still crucify; love is the language we must learn, or die.

Spirit of Jesus, If I Love My Neighbor

Ye sons of Adam, vain and young

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #593 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Confession of sin, repentance, and pardon Lyrics: Ye sons of Adam, vain and young, Indulge your eyes, indulge your tongue, Taste the delights your souls desire, And give a loose to all your fire; Pursue the pleasures you design, And cheer your hearts with songs and wine; Enjoy the day of mirth, but know There is a day of judgment too. God from on high beholds your thoughts, His book records your secret faults; The works of darkness you have done Must all appear before the sun. The vengeance to your follies due Should strike your hearts with terror through: How will you stand before his face, Or answer for his injured grace? Almighty God! turn off their eyes From these alluring vanities; And let the thunder of thy word Awake their souls to fear the Lord. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 11:9 Languages: English
