Reign of God

Lyrics:    God of justice and compassion, you who freed the Hebrew slaves, you who feed the poor and powerless, you whose great forgiveness saves, now you feed us, poor in spirit, through the grace of your dear Son; now you call us, now you send us. May your loving will be done.    Feed us, God, the bread of justice: give us hearts to see and care. We are one with all who suffer. They are yours; now send us there. Knowing not if we shall triumph, give us faith to never cease; give us strength to boldly witness, seeking justice, making peace.    Feed us, God, the wine of courage, faithfully to do your will. Now we drink of resurrection, facing death but steadfast still. To this world of heartless plunder, send us in a different vein: by our fearless, gentle healing, bearing witness to your Reign.    * Or Love Divine, All Loves Excelling, Ode to Joy, or even What a Friend We Have In Jesus.
