Hymn: See how God's holiness, righteousness, judgement

Proper 25 year A

Leviticus 19: 1-2, 15-18; (Matthew 22: 41 – 46)



See how God's holiness, righteousness, judgement
run like a sinew of mercy and grace,
holding together commandment and spirit,
showing how love can be shown in each place.

Slander is outlawed, each word should be truthful,
no one should gain through the fall of a friend.
Hatred, like cancer, can feed on our being,
eating, devouring: a feast without end...
