God, the All-Holy

Tune Name: VERMILION

Lyrics as Poetry

God, the All-Holy,
Maker and Mother,
gladly we gather,
bringing in prayer
old hurts for healing,
new hopes for holding,
giving, receiving,
loving and care.Spirit, All-Seeing,
knitting and blending
joy in desiring,
friendship and ease,
make our belonging
loyal and lasting,
so that our pledging
freshens and frees.Christ, All-Completing,
Nature enfolding,
evil exhausting
in love’s embrace,
weaving and mending,
make every ending
God’s new beginning
glowing with grace.
