Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When minds and bodies meet as one
and find their true affinity,
we join the dance in God begun
and move within the Trinity,
so praise the good that's seen and done
in loving, giving unity, revealing God,
forever One, whose nature is Community.
2 When leaders meet with angry sound,
yet bridle their hostility,
to bargain for a common ground,
and end with unanimity,
so glad for all the hope that's won
in every gleam of unity, revealing God,
forever One, whose nature is Community.
3 When teamwork serves a common aim,
and players move in sympathy,
the flowing rhythm of the game
is beauty in simplicity,
so praise the good that's seen and done
in swiftly moving unity, revealing God,
forever One, whose nature is Community.
4 When people feel the lashing claws
of greed and inhumanity,
yet struggle in a rightful cause
with caring solidarity,
be glad for all the hope that's won
in freedom-loving unity, revealing God,
forever One, whose nature is Community.
5 In Christ we come to break and bless
the bread of new society,
created for togetherness,
from infinite variety,
so praise the good that's seen and done
in Spirit-given unity, revealing God,
forever One, whose nature is Community.
