Release in us those healing truths Unconscious pride resists or shelves. 4 In conflicts that destroy our health We recognize the world's disease; Our common life declares our ills: Is there no cure, O Christ, for these? 5 Grant that we all, made one in faith, In your community may find The wholeness that, enriching us, Shall reach the whole of humankind.
