The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#1027

1027. Jesus, Lord, we look to thee

1 Jesus, Lord, we look to thee;
Let us in thy name agree;
Show thyself the Prince of peace;
Bid all strife forever cease.

2 By thy reconciling love
Every stumbling-block remove;
Each to each unite, endear;
Come, and spread thy banner here.

3 Make us of one heart and mind,
Courteous, pitiful, and kind,
Lowly, meek in thought and word
Altogether like our Lord.

4 Let us for each other care,
Each the other's burden bear;
To thy Church the pattern give,
Show how true believers live.

5 Free from anger and from pride,
Let us thus in God abide;
May our daily life express
Constant love and holiness.

6 Let us then with joy remove
To the family above;
On the wings of angels fly
To our mansions in the sky.
