Gathering Hymn

 

Come, come whoever you are,

Wanderer, worshipper, lover of leaving.

Ours is no caravan of despair,

Come, yet again come.

 

Ven, ven, cual eres, ven,

Nómada_en búsqueda, si_amas la vida.

La nuestra­_es la caravana de_amor,

Ven, otra vez ven.

 Opening Hymn #113

Where Is Our Holy Church?             

 Covenant

 

Love is the doctrine of this church.     

The quest of truth is its sacrament,

And service is its prayer.

To dwell together in peace;

To seek knowledge in freedom;

To serve humankind in fellowship;

Thus do we covenant with each other.

 Hymn of Praise

 

From all that dwell below the skies

Let songs of hope and faith arise

Let peace, good will on earth be sung

Through every land, by every tongue.                  ~ based on Isaac Watts

Go now in peace,

Go now in peace,

May the spirit of love surround you
