- 1Jesus, Lord, we look to thee;
- Let us in thy name agree;
- Show thyself the Prince of Peace;
- Bid our jars forever cease.
- 2By thy reconciling love,
- Every stumbling-block remove:
- Each to each unite, endear;
- Come, and spread thy banner here.
- 3Make us of one heart and mind--
- Courteous, pitiful, and kind;
- Lowly, meek, in thought and word--
- Altogether like our Lord.
- 4Let us for each other care;
- Each the other's burden bear;
- To thy church the pattern give;
- Show how true believers live.
- 5Free from anger and from pride,
- Let us thus in God abide;
- All the depths of love express--
- All the heights of holiness.
- 6Let us then with joy remove
- To the family above;
- On the wings of angels fly:
- Show how true believers die.
