495. Father of all, from land and sea

1 Father of all, from land and sea
The nations sing, "Thine, Lord, are we,
Countless in number, but in Thee
May we be one."

2 O Son of God, Whose love so free
For men did make Thee Man to be,
United to our God in Thee
May we be one.

3 Thou, Lord, didst once for all atone;
Thee may both Jew and Gentile own
Of their two walls the Corner Stone,
Making them one.

4 Thou art the fountain of all good,
Cleansing with Thy most precious blood,
And feeding us with angels' food,
Making us one.

5 Join high with low, join young with old,
In love that never waxes cold;
Under one Shepherd, in one Fold,
Make us all one.

6 O Spirit blest, Who from above
Cam'st gently gliding like a dove,
Calm all our strive, give faith and love;
Oh, make us one.

7 So, when the world shall pass away,
May we awake with joy and say,
"Now in the bliss of endless day
We all are one."

Amen.
