Charming, upbeat, Contemporary Christian / Praise and Worship type hymn

Originally composed in G major, this cover is recorded in D - a lower key for easier access by the congregation during mass. 

A great hymn with the theme of vocation, it accentuates God's call by the person's name. In fact, it explores the notion of vocation as a community's call to dedicate our lives to God: 'no need to fear for He is near'. However, that concept of dedication is mostly attributed to one's commitment for love between one person and God, that, by such answer to the call, they have become one in heart, and that is nourished by the gift of faithful love.

Instead of 6 verses, I only used the first 3 verses.

F           C               Dm - C. Bb             Gm          Gm                 F
Lord your love is eternal   Do not forsake the work of your hands

Verse

1) As  we ponder all you’ve done to adopt us as your daughters and sons
Many haven’t heard or know and enmity among them grows
HOW  indifferent so many are  how many worship their own star 
How much sorrow and pain - how many lost in fog and  so  vain        
living off the wealth of the past in a world culture that cannot last
Refrain

YOU SAY  WE ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH
And its light through  our Baptismal birth
And send us to all who are lukewarm
To all who've  been un or misinformed .

For those interested in the historical roots of Catholic devotional music, I wanted share a recent research project from Mother of Mercy Catholic Hymns that dives deep into our shared musical past.

The Parish Inheritance Project takes a look at how past generations gave voice to major solemnities. Focusing on the Feast of the Assumption, a survey of historical hymnals (1849–1964) revealed a distinct, enduring corpus of 20 classic hymns—including works by brilliant nineteenth-century translators and composers like Fr. Edward Caswall, Fr. Frederick Faber, and regional American collections.

These pieces reflect a time when doctrine, devotion, and rich choral/congregational music were beautifully intertwined. If you love exploring traditional Catholic hymnody, historical texts, and the stories behind sacred music, you can read the full overview and access the survey list here:
ttps://www.motherofmercycatholichymns.com/the-voice-of-the-assumption/

Would love to connect with other musicians here who have a passion for bringing historical sacred music back to light!
