Where my soul in joyful duty Waits for Him Who an-swers prayer:

O how bless-ed is this place, Fill'd with solace, light, and grace. A-men.

[blocks in formation]
[blocks in formation]

With His own blood He bought her, And for her life He died. A-men.

Elect from every nation,

Yet one o'er all the earth,

Her charter of salvation

One Lord, one faith, one birth; One holy Name she blesses, Partakes one holy food, And to one hope she presses, With every grace endued.

3

Though with a scornful wonder,
Men see her sore oppressed,

By schisms rent asunder,
By heresies distressed;

Yet saints their watch are keeping,
Their cry goes up, "How long?"
And soon the night of weeping
Shall be the morn of song.

Jesus, Thou Hast Willed It

Williams 6565 6565

THOMAS MORLEY

1. Jesus, Thou hast willed it That Thy Church should be

One in faith and

spir - it, Ever one in Thee. We the cross are bearing Once on

Jesus laid, We the pray'r are praying That our Master prayed. A-men.

2

Though the time be distant,
Still we watch and pray,
Even though faint and weary,
Waiting for the day
When the Church, uniting,

In one host shall fight

'Gainst the powers of darkness
In the Lord's own might.

3

When the fight is over,

When the strife is done,

When our cause has conquered,

When the Church is one,
East and west together
Joining hand in hand,
Lead Thy people onward

To the pleasant land. Amen.

285 O Thou, Who from One Blood Didst Make

Eisenach L. M.

4 4

JOHANN HERMANN SCHEIN

1. O Thou, Who from one blood didst make All men and na-tions, great and small,

[ocr errors]

Who didst in wondrous love cre-ate That per-fect Love that loveth all; A-men.

2

O give us grace to lay to heart

The dangers by division wrought,

To live a life of love in Christ,

And learn the lesson He hath taught.

3

One Lord, one faith, one baptism, one
Almighty King, on Whom we call,
One way on earth, one hope of heaven,
One God and Father of us all;-

4

So may we all in heart and mind

Be one in Thee, and live to share

The wants of others, and combine

Our common wants in common prayer;

5

Until we all be one, as Thou

Art One with Thine eternal Son,

One with Thy saints on earth below,

And still to endless ages, One. Amen.
