1 O God of mercy, God of might,
In love and pity infinite,
Teach us, as ever in Thy sight,
To live our life to Thee.
2 Teach us the lesson Thou hast taught,
To feel for those Thy blood hath bought,
That every word, and deed, and thought,
May work a work for Thee.
3 For all are brethren, far and wide,
Since Thou, O Lord, for all hast died;
Then teach us, whatsoe'er betide,
To love them all in Thee.
4 In sickness, sorrow, want, or care,
Whatever it be ours to share,
May we, when help is needed, there
Give help as unto Thee.
5 And may Thy Holy Spirit move
All those who live, to live for love,
Till Thou shalt greet in heaven above
All those who live to Thee.
Amen.
