Where Love and Justice Combine
1. Where love and justice combine
Where love and justice combine
God has welcomed us home.
O beloved of mine, may we dwell there
Where love and justice combine,
Where love and justice combine
God has welcomed us home.
May we never be moved.
2. Deep in the business of life

God has welcomed us home.
O beloved of mine, may we dwell there
Deep in the business of life
Deep in the business of life
God has welcomed us home.
May we never be moved.
3. Sharing the fruit and the land …
4. ‘Mid every sorrow and joy …
5. Spreading the table with peace …
6. Held in community’s arms …
