269. May we Thy precepts, Lord, fulfil

1 May we Thy precepts, Lord, fulfil,
And do on earth our Father's will,
As angels do above;
Still walk in Christ, the living Way,
With all Thy children, and obey
The law of Christian love.

2 So may we join Thy Name to bless,
Thy grace adore, Thy power confess,
From sin and strife to flee;
One is our calling, one our name,
The end of all our hopes the same:
A crown of life with Thee.

3 Spirit of life, of love and peace,
Unite our hearts, our joy increase,
Thy gracious help supply;
To each of us the blessing give,
In Christian fellowship to live,
In joyful hope to die.

Amen.
