Jesus, Thou has willed it,
That Thy Church shalt be
One in faith and spir­it,
Ever one in Thee.
We the cross are bear­ing,
Once on Je­sus laid;
We the pray­er are pray­ing,
That our mas­ter prayed.

Refrain

Jesus, Thou hast willed it,
That Thy Church should be
One in faith and spir­it,
Ever one in Thee.

Tho’ the time be dist­ant,
Still we watch and pray,
E’en tho’ faint and wea­ry,
Waiting for the day;
When the Church unit­ing,
In one host shall fight,
’Gainst the pow­er of dark­ness,
In the Lord’s own might.

Refrain

Thou, our hea­ven­ly mas­ter,
Bid con­ten­tions cease;
Thou, true Prince of Sa­lem,
Give Thy child­ren peace;
Peace from God the Fa­ther,
Peace from God the Son,
Peace from God the Spir­it,
From the Three in One.
