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.
