Where Charity and Love Prevail (#700)

Verse 1
Where charity and love prevail,
There God is ever found;
Brought here together by Christ’s love,
By love are we thus bound.

Verse 2
With grateful joy and holy fear
God’s charity we learn;
Let us with heart and mind and soul
Now love God in return.

Verse 3
Forgive we now each other’s faults
As we our faults confess;
And let us love each other well
In Christian holiness.

Verse 4
Let strife among us be unknown,
Let all contention cease;
Be God’s the glory that we seek,
Be ours God’s holy peace.

Verse 5
Let us recall that in our midst
Dwells God’s begotten Son;
As members of his body joined,
We are in Christ made one.

Verse 6
No race nor creed can love exclude
If honored be God’s name;
Our family embraces all
Whose Father is the same.
