by social forces swept along,
by pow'rs and systems close confined
yet seeking hope for human-kind.
3 Great 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.
4 Then take the towel, and break the bread,
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.

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. Topics: Christ's Example; Christian vocation; Christian year--Holy Week; Christ's Example; Confession of Sin; God--Love of; Invitation and Response; Ministry; Suffering Scripture: John 13:1-20 Languages: English Tune Title: ABINGDON
