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.
