Verse 1:
G Em
One human family God has made,
Am7 D G
and all for each to care.
G Em
One world, to be the home of all.
Am7 D G
with all its wealth to share.
Am7 D7 Em
One Christ, to manifest on earth
C D7
love’s ultimate des—ign.
G Em
One Church to know the mystery
Am7 D7 G
of broken bread and wine.
Verse 2:
G Em
One race, one world — yet torn apart,
Am7 D G
we spurn the way of love.
G Em
But still ahead, the Christ leads on
Am7 D G
and calls his Church to move
Am7 D7 Em
from love of power to power of love,
C D7
to give the world to all —
G Em
to trust the love that conquered death,
Am7 D7 G
outside the city wall.
Verse 3:
G Em
And are we brave enough to join
Am7 D G
with that great company —
G Em
the cost not less than all we have
Am7 D G
and are or hope to be —
Am7 D7
the bitter cup of human sin
Em C D7
to drink with him who died,
G Em
and take his love outside the wall to
Am7 D7 G
all the crucified?
Verse 4:
G Em
Claim him who claims us for his own,
Am7 D G
to share his pain and grief,
G Em
to bear the scars that stamp us his —
Am7 D G
the hallmark of belief.
Am7 D7
As partners of the living Christ,
Em C D7
who risk the path he trod,
G Em
with wondering love we find we share
Am7 D7 G
the timeless joy of God.
