Great God, Your Love Has Called Us Here

Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great God, your love has called us here, as we, by love, for love were made. Your living likeness still we bear, though marred, dishonored, disobeyed. We come, with all our heart and mind your call to hear, your love to find. 2 We come with self-inflicted pains 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 humankind. 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. 5 Great 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. Scripture: Romans 8:2 Used With Tune: ABINGDON

He shares on high his Father’s throne, who once in mercy came; for all his love to sinners shown I sing my Savior’s name. Scripture: Luke 23:26-44 Used With Tune: A PURPLE ROBE
