Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Hymnal: Worship and Song #3030 (2011) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Scripture: Philippians 2:5-11 Lyrics: 1 Eternal God transcending time,
yet mindful of the fears,
the hopes, the questions raised for us
by ever changing years:
so guide us through our pilgrim days
that we may find a home
where justice, truth, and mercy meet,
fulfilled in your shalom.
2 Incarnate God revealed in time,
true Word in flesh retold,
who marked the years from birth to death,
then rose to break death's hold:
by your becoming one with us,
help us to know and claim
the unity of all baptized
in your redeeming name.
3 Life breathing God enliv'ning time,
awaking heart and tongue,
inspiring prophets, bringing hope,
consoling old and young:
draw us to those denied your gifts
by bias, want, or strife,
convert our wills and form through us
new channels of your life.
4 Great Triune God, so bless the time
entrusted to our care,
that all our varied ministries
may form a common prayer;
then when time ceases,
bring us where divisions are undone,
that in your presence, joined in praise,
at last we may be one.
