LyicsJesus, Lord, we look to thee,
Let us in thy name agree;
Show thyself the Prince of peace;
Bid our jars forever cease.
By thy reconciling love,
Ev'ry stumbling block remove;
Each to each unite, endear,
Come, and spread thy banner here.
Make us of one heart and mind,
Courteous, pitiful, and kind;
Lowly, meek in thought and word,
Altogether like our Lord.
Let us each for other care,
Each, the other'd burden bear;
To thy church the pattern give,
Show how true believers live.
Free from anger and from pride,
Let us thus in God abide;
All the depths of love express,
All the heights of holiness.
Let us then with joy remove,
To thy family above;
On the wings of angels fly,
Show how true believers die.
