Lord, who the night You were be­trayed did pray
That all Your Church might be for­ev­er one;
Help us at ev­ery Eu­cha­rist to say
With will­ing heart and soul, Your will be done.
That we may all one bread, one bo­dy be
Through this, Your sac­ra­ment of uni­ty.

For all Your Church on earth, we in­ter­cede;
Lord, make our sad di­vi­sions soon to cease;
Draw us all clos­er, each to each, we plead,
By draw­ing all to You, O Prince of Peace;
So may we all one bread, one bo­dy be,
Through this blest sac­ra­ment of uni­ty.

And hear our pray­er for wan­der­ers from Your fold;
Restore them, too, Good Shep­herd of the sheep,
Back to the faith your saints con­fessed of old,
And to the Church still pledged that faith to keep.
Soon may we all one bread, one bo­dy be,
Through this blest sac­ra­ment of uni­ty.

So, Lord, at length when sac­ra­ments shall cease,
May we be one with all your Church above—
One with Your saints in one un­brok­en peace,
One as Your bride in one un­bound­ed love;
More bless­èd still, in peace and love to be
One with the Tri­ni­ty in uni­ty.
