- 1Jesus, united by Thy grace,
- And each to each endeared,
- With confidence we seek Thy face,
- And know our prayer is heard.
- 2Still let us own our common Lord
- And bear Thine easy yoke,
- A band of love, a threefold cord,
- Which never can be broke.
- 3Make us into one spirit drink;
- Baptize into Thy name;
- And let us always kindly think,
- And sweetly speak, the same.
- 4Touched by the loadstone of Thy love,
- Let all our hearts agree,
- And ever towards each other move,
- And ever move towards Thee.
- 5To Thee inseparably joined,
- Let all our spirits cleave;
- O may we all the loving mind
- That was in Thee receive!
