FATHER ALMIGHTY, WE GIVE YOU OUR THANKS

Refrain: Strengthen us Lord, with the burning love of Christ
Send us the spirit of your Son.
Father almighty, we give you our thanks,
Thanks for the gift of your Son,
Thanks for the friendship you’ve called us to share,
Gathered together in one;
Keep us together, all true to your name;
Striving till we’ve overcome.

2. Father we thank you for giving us life,
Life to be lived all for you;
Giving a share in your Godhead divine,
A share in your love through and through;
Help us bear witness to your holy name
In all that we say, think or do.

3. Father, please help us to spread the good news,
Brought by your Son to mankind,
News of our love and concern for all men,
The poor and the lame and the blind;
Help us to live all the time, all our lives,
The teachings that Christ left behind.

4. Help us to fire all the world with your love,
We who are one in your Son;
Help us transform all the world into Christ;
Till all men and races are one;
Give us your peace Lord, your peace and your love;
Father, may your will be done.
