Lyics

Father, hear our humble claim;

We are met in thy great name;

In the midst do thou appear,

Manifest thy presence here.



Lord, our fellowship increase;

Knit us in the bond of peace;

Join our hearts, O Father! join

Each to each, and all to thine.



Build us in one spirit up,

Called in one high calling's hope-

One the spirit, one the aim,

One the pure baptismal flame.
