Text: | Lord, in Thy kingdom there shall be |
Author: | Joseph Anstice |
Tune: | ANSTICE |
1 Lord, in Thy kingdom there shall be
No aliens from each other,
But even as he loves himself
Each saint shall love his brother.
2 When in Thy courts below we meet
To mourn our sinful living,
And with united hearts repeat
Confession,creed, thanksgiving:
3 Make us to hear in each sweet word
Thy Holy Spirit calling
To oneness with Thy Church and Thee,
That heavenly bond forestalling.
4 One Baptism and one faith have we,
One Spirit sent to win us,
One Lord, one Father, and one God,
Above, and through, and in us.
5 Never, by schism, or by sin,
May we that union sever,
Till all, to perfect stature grown,
Are one with Thee for ever.
