Thou, who at Thy first Eu­cha­rist didst pray
That all Thy Church might be for­ev­er one,
Grant us at ev­ery Eu­cha­rist to say
With long­ing heart and soul, Thy will be done.
O may we all one bread, one bo­dy be,
Through this blest sac­ra­ment of uni­ty.

For all Thy Church, O Lord, we in­ter­cede;
Make Thou our sad di­vi­sions soon to cease;
Draw us the near­er each to each, we plead,
By draw­ing all to Thee, O Prince of Peace;
Thus may we all one bread, one bo­dy be,
Through this blest sac­ra­ment of uni­ty.

We pray Thee too for wan­der­ers from Thy fold;
O bring them back, good Shep­herd of the sheep,
Back to the faith which saints be­lieved of old,
Back to the Church which still that faith doth 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 Thy Church above,
One with Thy saints in one un­brok­en peace,
One with Thy saints in one un­bound­ed love;
More bless­èd still, in peace and love to be
One with the Tri­ni­ty in uni­ty.
