184. Lord, we thank thee for our brothers

Full Text

1 Lord, we thank thee for our brothers
Keeping faith with us and thee,
Joining heart to heart with others
Making strong our company.
With the cross our only standard
Let us sing with one great voice,
Glory, glory, thine the kingdom!
Churches, in thy church rejoice!

2 God be praised for congregations
Coming side by side to thee;
Many tongues and many nations
Sing the greater unity.
Sweet the psalm and sweet the carol
When our song is raised as one:
Glory, glory, thine the power!
As in heaven thy will be done.

3 Hallowed be thy name forever!
Heal our differences of old;
Bless thy church's new endeavor;
For thy kingdom make us bold.
One our Christ and one our gospel:
Make us one, we now implore;
Glory, glory, thine the glory
Through the ages evermore!

Amen.
