Lyrics: O faithful God, whose steadfast love is sure, O Loving Father, Mother kind and strong: your Covenant forever will endure; you bind us to your heart our whole life long. No matter how rebellious is your child, in you we are brought home and reconciled
You hold us, God, in kinship with each other. We have been loved and held when we would run. We all are siblings, all born of one Mother; though we would flee, you join us all as one. Our deepest wounds come from our deepest love, and so our highest hope for life above.
So teach us God, to bravely love each other, for all belong within your house of grace, to give our enemy, who is our brother, our steadfast mercy, and a wide embrace; for in our love, though we be right or wrong, we know the grace to which we all belong.
