Verse 1
Jesus, Lord, we look to thee;
let us in thy name agree;
show thyself the Prince of Peace,
bid our strife forever cease.
Verse 2
By thy reconciling love
every stumbling block remove;
each to each unite, endear;
come, and spread
thy banner here.
Verse 3
Make us of one
heart and mind,
gentle, courteous, and kind,
lowly, meek,
in thought and word,
altogether like our Lord.
Verse 4
Let us for each other care,
each the other’s burdens bear;
to thy church the pattern give,
show how true believers live.
Verse 5
Free from anger
and from pride,
let us thus in God abide;
all the depths of love express,
all the heights of holiness.
Verse 6
Let us then with joy remove
to the family above;
on the wings of angels fly,
show how true believers die.
