as we, by love, for love were made;
your living likeness still we bear,
though marred, dishonoured, disobeyed.
We come, with all our heart and mind
your call to hear, your love to find.

of broken trust and chosen wrong,
half-free, half-bound by inner chains,
by social forces swept along,
by powers and systems close confined
yet seeking hope for all humankind.
3 Lord God, in Christ you call our name
and then receive us as your own
not through some merit, right or claim
but by your gracious love alone.
We strain to glimpse your mercy-seat
and find you kneeling at our feet.

and humble us, and call us friends;
suffer and serve till all are fed
and show how grandly love intends
to work till all creation sings,
to fill all worlds, to crown all things.
5 Lord God, in Christ you set us free
your life to live, your joy to share:
give us your Spirit's liberty
to turn from guilt and dull despair,
and offer all that faith can do
while love is making all things new. Languages: English Tune Title: RYBURN

3 For God forgives our sins
and God relieves our pain;
the Lord who heals our sicknesses
renews our strength again.
4 He crowns our life with love
when ransomed from the grave;
he who redeemed my soul from hell
has sovereign power to save.
5 The Lord provides our food
and gives the sufferers rest;
the Lord has judgment for the proud,
and justice for the oppressed.
6 His mighty works and ways
by Moses he made known,
but gave the world his truth and grace
by his belovèd Son.

Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #475 (1987) Topics: Pentecost 7 The More Excellent Way Lyrics: 1 I love you, O Lord, you alone,
my refuge on whom I depend;
my maker, my saviour, my own,
my hope and my trust without end:
the Lord is my strength and my song,
defender and guide of my ways;
my master to whom I belong,
my God who shall have all my praise.
2 The dangers of death gathered round,
the waves of destruction came near;
but in my despairing I found
the Lord who released me from fear:
I called for his help in my pain,
to God my salvation I cried;
he brought me his comfort again,
I live by the strength he supplied.
3 My hope is the promise he gives,
my life is secure in his hand;
I shall not be lost, for he lives!
he comes to my aid - I shall stand!
Lord God you are powerful to save,
your Spirit will spur me to pray;
your Son has defeated the grave:
I trust and I praise you today! Scripture: Psalm 18 Languages: English Tune Title: JANE
