Christ Our Peace

orchidee



Tune: Melcombe

('New every morning is the love')

Ephesians 2 v.11-22 parts

**********

Christ is our peace, He reconciled

Us to Him by His mercy mild

Jew and Gentile, they both may meet

As one around His mercy-seat* (*throne)

 

For He on the cross did the wall

Broke down that separated all

Taht caused partition, division

The restoring work He has done

 

We were at one time far away

And could not see salvation's day

But now made nigh by Christ's blood shed

Upon the cross, our living Head

 

For He took on Himself those things

That enmity, prejudice brings

They now abolished, for all found

By His grace true on common ground

 

Lord, help us build in unity

And expressing diversity

For you build us, your house, no less

Which you inhabit and do bless
