Not for tongues of heaven's angels
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, 1926- Meter: 8.7.8.7.6 Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: One Life in Christ Discipleship Lyrics: 1 Not for tongues of heaven's angels,
not for wisdom to discern,
not for faith that masters mountains,
for this better gift we yearn:
may love be ours, O Lord.
2 Love is humble; love is gentle;
love is tender, true and kind;
love is gracious, ever patient,
generous of heart and mind:
may love be ours, O Lord.
3 Never jealous, never selfish,
love will not rejoice in wrong;
never boastful, nor resentful,
love believes and suffers long:
may love be ours, O Lord.
4 In the day this world is fading
faith and hope will play their part,
but when Christ is seen in glory
love shall reign in every heart:
may love be ours, O Lord. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13 Used With Tune: BRIDEGROOM

Help us accept each other
Author: Fred Kaan, 1929- Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: One Life in Christ Discipleship 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! Scripture: Matthew 18:21-22 Used With Tune: BARONITA
Help us accept each other

we will follow Jesus.
Still for us he lives to plead,
at the throne doth intercede,
offers help in time of need;
we will follow Jesus.

we will follow Jesus.
He will make our pathway clear;
we will follow Jesus.
In our daily round of care,
as we plead with God in prayer,
with the cross which we must bear,
we will follow Jesus.
4 Ever keep that end in view;
we will follow Jesus.
All his promises are true;
we will follow Jesus.
When this earthly course is run,
and the Master says, "Well done!"
life eternal we have won;
we will follow Jesus. Scripture: Hebrews 7:25 Used With Tune: FOLLOW ME
