When the Church of Jesus

Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 25:31-46 Lyrics: 1 When the Church of Jesus shuts its outer door, lest the roar of traffic drown the voice of prayer: may our prayers, Lord, make us ten times more aware that the world we banish is our Christian care. 2 If our hearts are lifted where devotion soars high above this hungry, suffering world of ours: lest our hymns should drug us to forget its needs, forge our Christian worship into Christian deeds. 3 Lest the gifts we offer, money, talents, time, serve to salve our conscience, to our secret shame: Lord, reprove, inspire us by the way you give; teach us, dying Savior, how true Christians live.

How blest thine inhabitants are! When weary of toiling, I think of the day— Who knows if its dawning be near?— When He who doth love me shall call me away From all that hath burdened me here.

May the fire of your compassion kindle every land and race. 3 Holy Child within the manger, lead us ever in your way, so we see in every stranger how you come to us today.
