+Hymn Faithful God You Sent Your Spirit
Words to the tune of "Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing" UMH 400
1. Faithful God, you sent your Spirit
Long ago at Pentecost.
You gave life and said to share it,
All as one, beneath your cross.
May we see your wondrous blessing
When your people everywhere
Work together, all confessing
Faith that binds us, faith to share.
2. God of hope, you daily nurture
Those who seek to follow you.
You're not bound by any culture;
You love rich and poor ones, too.
In an ever-changing nation,
May your churches welcome in
Every child of your creation,
Giving hope to all again.
3. God of love, may we in worship
Welcome our diversity.
May we reach in trust and friendship
To the poor and refugee.
May we see Christ in the stranger,
Breaking bonds of hate and fear.
By your Spirit, may we offer
Glimpses of your kingdom here.
Call To Worship Liturgist
Liturgist: Oh people of faith, When the world divides us
All: Come, Holy Spirit, make us one, ready to serve and ready to love one another
