Alleluia! 4 O blest communion, fellowship divine! We feebly struggle, they in glory shine; Yet all are one in Thee, for all are Thine: Alleluia! Alleluia! 5 But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day: The saints triumphant rise in bright array; The King of glory passes on His way: Alleluia! Alleluia! 6 From earth’s wide bounds, from ocean’s farthest coast, Thru gates of pearl streams in the countless host, Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost: Alleluia! Alleluia!

Use us as a means of blessing: make us stronger, give us faith. 5 Give us faith to be more faithful, give us hope to be more true, give us love to go on learning: God! Encourage and renew!
