354   Thy Love O God




[1]
Thy love O God has all mankind created
And led Thy people to this present hour;
In Christ we see life s glory consummated;
Thy Spirit manifests His living power.

[2]
From out the darkness of our hope s frustration
From all the broken idols of our pride
We turn to seek Thy truth s illumination
And find Thy mercy waiting at our side.

[3]
In pity look upon Thy children s striving
For life and freedom peace and brotherhood
Till at the fullness of Thy truth arriving
We find in Christ the crown of every good.

[4]
Inspire Thy church mid earth s discordant voices
To preach the gospel of her Lord above
Until the day this warring world rejoices
To hear the mighty harmonies of love.
