607. That We Might Be One

1 We once were lost in sin,
All hopeless and undone;
But God, to save, His son for us gave,
That we might all be one.

2 Yes, God so loved the world,
He sent His only Son;
A perfect plan, He gave unto man,
Thro' which we might be one.

3 May we, thro' Christ, complete
The work in us begun;
His voice in love, Still pleads from above,
That we may all be one.

4 This pray'er, the Savior prayed,
For us, excluding none;
"Keep them in peace, Till trials shall cease"
That we may all be one.
