Jesus the Friend of Others

Tune: Es Ist Ein’ Ros’ Enstprungen        76 76 676
(A Great and Mighty Wonder)
Jesus the friend of others
Who welcomed all to him.
When called on by his brothers
looked upon those within.
This is the God we serve
who calls each one a brother
within the arms of love.

Jesus give us your family
The strength to follow you.
That faced with trials, temptations
we may stand close to you.
This is the God we serve
who calls each one a sister
within the arms of love.

Jesus help us help others
to walk the way with you.
That none shall be an outcast
and the whole Church be one.
This is the God we serve
who calls each one a mother
within the arms of love.
