Can be sung to Hyfrydol or Abbots Leigh

Christ has called us to each other
Linked to one humanity.
Colour, culture, class or gender
Break the chains to set us free.
Hold the hand of friend or stranger
Hold the dreams of age and youth
Hold the cynic and the searcher,
As we journey to the truth.

Christ has challenged every motive
And disturbed all stale belief,
Re-imagining the future,
Scattering vision, healing grief.
Open doors will welcome homeless,
Open eyes will see the need,
Open hands will work in friendship,
Sharing love instead of greed.

Christ will use all that we offer,
Build the kingdom in this space,
Living stones of strength and weakness,
Each unique and in its place.
Art and science, thoughts and actions,
Human struggles, near and far,
Christ transforms and answers questions
In our search for whom we are.

Christ has called us to this moment,
Time of change and new ideas,
Re-imagining the future,
Bringing hope despite our fears.
Open minds explore potential,
Open arms embrace each child,
Open hearts live out his purpose –
All creation reconciled.
