Yours the gold and yours the silver, yours the wealth of sea and land, we but stewards of your bounty held in trust at your command. 3 Come, Lord Jesus, reign among us, King of Love, and Prince of Peace; hush the storm of strife and passion, bid its cruel discords cease. Yours the prayer, and yours the purpose, that your people should be one, grant from heaven, our hope’s fruition; here on earth your will be done. Scripture: 1 John 4:14 Used With Tune: BLAENWERN
