779. May the Grace of Christ Our Savior

1 May the grace of Christ our Savior
And the Father's boundless love
With the Holy Spirit's favor,
Rest upon us/them from above.

2 Thus may we/they abide in union
With each other and the Lord,
And possess, in sweet communion,
Joys which earth cannot afford.
