1 Christ, from whom all blessings flow,
Perfecting the saints below,
Hear us who Thy nature share,
Who Thy mystic body are,
Who Thy mystic body are;
2 Join us, in one spirit join;
Let us still receive of Thine;
Still for more on Thee we call,
Thou who fillest all in all,
Thou who fillest all in all.
3 Move, and actuate and guide;
Divers gifts to each divide;
Placed according to Thy will,
Let us all Thy work fulfill,
Let us all Thy work fulfill.
4 Never from our office move,
Needful to each other prove;
Use the grace on each bestowed,
Tempered by the art of God,
Tempered by the art of God.
5 Sweetly may we all agree,
Touched with loving sympathy,
Kindly for each other care;
Every member feel its share,
Every member feel its share.
6 Many are we now and one,
We who Jesus have put on;
Names, and sects, and parties fall;
Thou, O Christ, art all in all,
Thou, O Christ, art all in all.
Amen.
