A Hymn for Unity (Kingsfold)

O God the calm of all the earth
The source of every breath,
The one who held us at our birth,
Who cradles us in death.
You weep when get lost in hate,
O light, help us to see,
Your face in those who challenge us,
In our diversity.


You are the door that's open wide
Inviting each to you
You are the guest who waits inside
To help our love grow true,
You are the stranger at the door
You are the ones we fear
Lord give us grace to see you more
And know that you are here.


In all our difference give us strength,
To love as you have loved
Let hurt and pain be put to rest
In body and in blood.
Where hatred and division stand
Let each the other see,
That all may find, in every land,

Our true humanity.
