1 O Jesu, kom dit Ord ihu,
Du ser os anndsforladte nu,
Forhungrede, udhuled',
Tænk paa den Trang, vi stande i,
Udsend din Aand, saa skabes vi,
Saa sankes Søndersmulet!

2 Du vil, vi vorde skal til Et.
Din kristne Flok er deelt op spredt,
Og kan ei meer forliges,
Thi Kjærlighed er bleven kold,
Det er ei alt med Troens Skjold
Og Aandens Sværd der kriges.

3 O Helligaand, gjør Underverk,
Giv Enighed, gjør sund og sterk
I Troen, glad i Haabet,
Taalmodige i Trængsels Tid,
Til Bøn varagtige med Flid,
Hør og idag Nød-Raabet!
