Spirit of Jesus, if I love my neighbour

Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #621 (2008) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 Spirit of Jesus, if I love my neighbour out of my knowledge, leisure, power or wealth, help me to understand the shame and anger: of helplessness that hates my power to help. 2 And if, when I have answered need with kindness, my neighbour rises, wakened from despair, keep me from flinching when the cry for justice requires of me the changes that I fear. 3 If I am hugging safety or possessions, uncurl my spirit, as your love prevails, to join my neighbours, work for liberation, and find my freedom at the mark of nails.
