Church Hymnal, Fourth Edition #426
1 Put forth, O God, thy Spirit's might
and bid thy church increase,
in breadth and length, in depth and height,
her unity and peace.
2 Let works of darkness disappear
before thy conquering light;
let hatred and tormenting fear
pass with the passing night.
3 Let what apostles learned of thee
be ours from age to age;
their steadfast faith, our unity,
their peace our heritage.
4 O Judge divine of human strife!
O Vanquisher of pain!
To know thee is eternal life,
to serve thee is to reign.
