Lyrics

May we Thy precepts, Lord, fulfill
And do on earth our Fa­ther’s will
As angels do above;
Still walk in Christ, the living Way,
With all Thy children and obey
The law of Chris­tian love.

So may we join Thy name to bless,
Thy grace adore, Thy power confess,
From sin and strife to flee.
One is our calling, one our name,
The end of all our hopes the same,
A crown of life with Thee.

Spirit of life, of love and peace,
Unite our hearts, our joy increase,
Thy gracious help supply.
To each of us the blessing give
In Chris­tian fellowship to live,
In joyful hope to die.
