Love is Enthroned

Words: Steve Garnaas-Holmes
Tune: Finlandia
Lyrics: O risen Christ, who once appeared among us, you have ascended! Loud we sing your praise. Though we may see no shadow of your nearness, you have not gone; your loving presence stays. You are no longer in one time or place, but in all things, to radiate your grace.
Christ has ascended, reigning now above. Love is enthroned at the Creator’s side. All powers on earth are subject to Christ’s love, who is our history’s unseen, gentle guide. Though evil try to make this world its home, Love is its Lord, and love shall overcome.
Go in the peace of Christ who is our Lord, and gently heal, amid the fear and strife. For we who eat and drink the living Word are now Christ’s Body, and Christ’s earthly life. We may not see the journey or the end, but Christ still reigns, our ruler and our friend. -
