Lyrics

O God, within whose sight
All men have equal right
To worship Thee,
Break every bar that holds
Thy flock in diverse folds;
Thy will from none withholds
Full liberty.

Lord, set Thy churches free
From foolish rivalry.
Lord, set us free!
Let all past bitterness
Now and for­ev­er cease,
And all our souls possess
Thy charity.
