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,

Every stumbling-block remove;

Each to each unite, endear;

Come, and spread thy banner here.



Make of us one heart and mind--

Courteous, pitiful, and kind:

Lowly, meek, in thought and word--

Altogether like our Lord.



Let us for each other care;

Each the other's 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.
