worship the Father, the Spirit, the Son,

and by our workmanship daily confessing:
we are committed to serving humanity,
worship and work must be one! [Refrain]

we must be ready for risk and for sacrifice,
worship and work must be one! [Refrain]

asking that we may be led and enabled,
truly united to build new communities,
worship and work must be one! [Refrain]

seeking a just and a healing society,
worship and work must be one! [Refrain] Topics: The Church at Worship Opening and Morning Hymns; liturgical Opening Hymns; Choruses and Refrains; Opening Hymns; Service Music Gathering, Call to Worship, Greeting Used With Tune: LIDDLE

Refrain:
Louange à Dieu, (louange à Dieu)
louange à Dieu, au Christ, à l'Esprit!
Dieu soit loué (Dieu soit loué)
par nos deux mains tendues vers sa vie.
1 Vers toi, ô Dieu, vois nos mains qui s’élèvent,
un seul chant joyeux jaillissant de nos lèvres.
reçois nous jours de travail et de fête,
règne de Dieu parmi nous! [Refrain]
2 Vers toi, ô Dieu, nos prières s’élancent;
transforme nos mains en un chant de louange:
en servant nos prochains c’est toi qu’elles chantent,
règne de Dieu parmi nous! [Refrain]
3 Voici un monde soumis aux souffrances,
voici nos mains pour aider sa naissance;
remplis de ta force d’amour nos gestes,
règne de Dieu parmi nous! [Refrain]
4 Voici le pain et le vin sur la table;
fais de nous, Dieu, le ferment dans la pâte,
le sel d’une vie fraternelle, amicale,
règne de Dieu parmi nous! [Refrain]
5 Prends-nous la main quand nos forces s’épuisent;
Dieu, que ta main aujourd’hui nous conduise
là où nous verrons se lever ta justice,
règne de Dieu parmi nous!

Fred Kaan
1929 - 2009 Author of "Worship the Lord" in Voices United Fred Kaan Hymn writer. His hymns include both original work and translations. He sought to address issues of peace and justice. He was born in Haarlem in the Netherlands in July 1929. He was baptised in St Bavo Cathedral but his family did not attend church regularly. He lived through the Nazi occupation, saw three of his grandparents die of starvation, and witnessed his parents deep involvement in the resistance movement. They took in a number of refugees. He became a pacifist and began attending church in his teens.
Having become interested in British Congregationalism (later to become the United Reformed Church) through a friendship, he was attended Western College in Bristol. He was ordained in 1955 at the Windsor Road Congregational Church in Barry, Glamorgan.
In 1963 he was called to be minister of the Pilgrim Church in Plymouth. It was in this congregation that he began to write hymns. The first edition of Pilgrim Praise was published in 1968, going into second and third editions in 1972 and 1975. He continued writing many more hymns throughout his life.
