We rest our hope in you. 3 Teach us the lesson Jesus taught: To feel for those his blood has bought, That ev'ry deed and word and thought May work a work for you. 4 For all are kindred, far and wide, Since Jesus Christ for all has died; Grant us the will, and grace provide To love them all in you. 5 In sickness, sorrow, want, or care, Each other's burdens help us share; May we, where help is needed, there Give help as though to you. 6 And may your Holy Spirit move All those who live to live in love, Till you receive in heav'n above Those who have lived to you.

Show us how through care and goodness fear will die and hope increase. 3 All that kills abundant living, let it from the earth be banned; pride of status, race, or schooling, dogmas that obscure your plan. In our common quest for justice may we hallow life's brief span. 4 You, Creator God, have written your great name on humankind; for our growing in your likeness bring the life of Christ to mind, that by our response and service earth its destiny may find.
