source of life and truth and grace;
Son of Man whose birth among us
hallows all our human race:
Christ our head, for all your people
you have never ceased to plead;
fill us with your love and pity,
heal our wrongs, and help our need.
2 Lord, as you have lived for others,
so may we for others live;
freely have your gifts been granted,
freely may your servants give:
yours the gold and yours the silver,
all the wealth of sea and land;
we but stewards of your riches
held in trust at your command.
3 Come, O Christ, and reign among us,
king of Love, and prince of peace;
hush the storm of strife and passion,
bid its cruel discords cease:
by your patient years of toiling,
by your silent hours of pain,
quench our fevered thirst of pleasure,
shame our selfish greed for gain.
4 Son of God, eternal saviour,
source of life and truth and grace;
Son of Man, whose birth among us
hallows all our human race:
you have prayed and you have purposed
that your people shall be one;
grant to us our hope’s fulfilment —
here on earth your will be done! Used With Tune: EVERTON
