Lyics

Jesus, 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.
