A Hymn of Human Rights
Author: Fred Kaan Appears in 58 hymnals First Line: For the healing of the nations Lyrics: 1 For the healing of the nations,
Lord, we pray with one accord;
For a just and equal sharing
Of the things that earth affords.
To a life of love in action
Help us rise and pledge our word.
To a life of love in action
Help us rise and pledge our word.
2 Lead us, Father, into freedom,
From despair your world release;
That redeemed from war and hatred
Men may come and go in peace.
Show us how through care and goodness
Fear will die and hope increase.
Show us how through care and goodness
Fear will die and hope increase.
3 All that kills abundant living,
Let it from the earth be banned;
Pride of status, race, or schooling,
Dogmas keeping man from man.
In our common quest for justice
May we hallow life's brief span.
In our common quest for justice
May we hallow life's brief span.
4 You, Creator God, have written
Your great name on all mankind;
For our growing in your likeness
Bring the life of Christ to mind;
That by our response and service
Earth its destiny may find.
That by our response and service
Earth its destiny may find.

A Hymn of Human Rights
Abba, Father, We Approach You
Author: James George Deck Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Abba, Father, we approach you
In our Savior’s precious name;
We, your children, here assembling,
Now your promised blessing claim.
From our sins his blood has washed us,
’Tis thru' him our souls draw nigh;
And your Spirit, too, has taught us,
"Abba, Father," thus to cry.
2. Once as prodigals we wandered
In our folly far from you;
But your grace, o’er sin abounding,
Rescued us from deepest gloom.
Then your prodigals you pardoned,
Kissed us with a Father’s love,
Killed the fatted calf, and called us
E’er to dwell with you above.
3. Clothed in garments of salvation,
At Thy table is our place;
We rejoice, with you delighting,
In the riches of your grace.
"It is fit," we hear you saying,
"We should merry and be glad;
I have found my once-lost children;
Now they live who once were dead!"
4. "Abba, Father!" all adore you,
All rejoice in Heav’n above,
While in us they learn the wonders
Of your wisdom, grace, and love.
Soon before your throne assembled,
All your children shall proclaim,
"Glory, everlasting glory,
Be to God and to the Lamb!" Topics: Christmas Scripture: Galatians 4:4-7 Used With Tune: KONG-EUI
Abba, Father, We Approach You
