Thou gav'st Thyself for me; I give myself to Thee. Amen. Tune Title: OLD 120TH

All the Colors of the Rainbow

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Hymnal: New Hymns of Hope #230 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Forgiveness Lyrics: 1 All the colors of the rainbow live unseen in daily light, but their splendors find expression when released to human sight; so the church reveals most beauty where diversity is real: breadth of race and class and gender, room for doubt, and space to heal. 2 All the body's parts are wanted, nor can one despise the rest: head and hand must work together, as must eye, ear, throat, and chest; so the church needs all its members for a range of ministries: varied gifts with one great mission, "Do this for the least of these." 3 Every language gains more music when the words for peace appear: Pax, Salaam, Eir¡ni, Heiwa, Pace, Santi, Frieden, Mir. Though our tongues make sounds that vary all bespeak a common home: longing for the end of conflict and new life in God's Shalom. 4 Teach us, God, our need of others; through them help us fully live. Wean us from our selfish habits; let us listen, learn, forgive. May we see your longed-for image in each human heart and face, and behold how those around us can be channels of your grace. Scripture: Genesis 1:26-27 Languages: English
