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,
Every 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'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.
Let us then with joy remove,
To thy family above;
On the wings of angels fly,
Show how true believers die.
