1 Grace and peace from God, our blessed Saviour,
Be with all who love His Name;
Church of Christ, His service deem a favor,
Joyfully His death proclaim,
Be prepared for rest or for employment,
From activity derive enjoyment,
Serve with zeal and faithfulness,
Filled with love His Name confess.
2 Chosen flock, thy faithful Shepherd follow,
Who laid down His life for thee;
All thy days unto His service hallow,
Each His true disciple be,
Evermore rejoice to do His pleasure,
Be the fullness of His grace thy treasure;
Should success thy labor crown,
Give the praise to Him alone.
3 Gracious Father, bless this congregation
As the purchase of Thy Son;
For His sake behold us with compassion,
And us all Thy children won;
Jesus, grant to us Thy peace and favor;
Holy Ghost, abide with us for ever,
And to us Christ’s love explain;
Hear us, Lord our God! Amen.
