CH4 714
Played by Catriona Lachlan, at the West Kirk of Calder

Gather us in, Thou Love that fillest all;
Gather our rival faiths within Thy fold;
Rend each man’s temple veil, and bid it fall,
That we may know that Thou hast been of old;
Gather us in.

Gather us in—we worship only Thee;
In varied names we stretch a common hand;
In diverse forms a common soul we see;
In many ships we seek one spirit land;
Gather us in.

Each sees one colour of Thy rainbow light,
Each looks upon one tint and calls it heaven;
Thou art the fullness of our partial sight;
We are not perfect till we find the seven;
Gather us in.

Some seek a Father in the heavens above;
Some ask a human image to adore;
Some crave a spirit vast as life and love;
Within Thy mansions we have all and more;
Gather us in.

CH4 622
Played by Catriona Lachlan, at the West Kirk of Calder

We sing a love that sets all people free,
that blows like wind, that burns like scorching flame,
enfolds the earth, springs up like water clear:
come, living love, live in our hearts today.

We sing a love that seeks another’s good,
that longs to serve and not to count the cost,
a love that, yielding, finds itself made new:
come, caring love, live in our hearts today.

We sing a love, unflinching, unafraid
to be itself, despite another’s wrath,
a love that stands alone and undismayed:
come, strengthening love, live in our hearts today.

We sing a love that, wandering, will not rest
until it finds its way, its home, its source,
through joy and sadness pressing on refreshed:
come, pilgrim love, live in our hearts today.

We sing the Holy Spirit, full of love,
who seeks out scars of ancient bitterness,
brings to our wounds the healing grace of Christ:
come, radiant love, live in our hearts today.

CH4 457
Played by Catriona Lachlan at Polbeth Harwood Church
 

1. All hail the power of Jesus' name!
Let angels prostrate fall,
bring forth the royal diadem
And crown Him, crown Him, crown Him,

Crown Him Lord of all!
 
2. Crown him you martyrs of our God,
who witnessed to his call;
exalt the one whose path you trod,
And crown Him, crown Him, crown Him,

Crown Him Lord of all!
 
3. Let every tongue and every tribe,
responsive to the call,
to him all majesty ascribe
And crown Him, crown Him, crown Him,

Crown Him Lord of all!
 
4. O that with yonder sacred throng,
we at his feet may fall,
join in the everlasting song
And crown Him, crown Him, crown Him,

Crown Him Lord of all!
