Thus may we all one Bread, one Body be; Through this blest Sacrament of Unity. 2 For all your church, O Lord, we intercede; O make our lack of charity to cease; Draw us the nearer each to each we plead, By drawing all to you, O Prince of Peace. Thus may we all one Bread, one Body be; Through this blest Sacrament of Unity. 3 We pray for those who wander from the fold; O bring them back, Good Shepherd of the sheep. Back to the faith which saints believed of old, Back to the Church which still that faith does keep. Thus may we all one Bread, one Body be; Through this blest Sacrament of Unity.

Freely have Your gifts been granted; Freely may Your servants give. Yours the gold and Yours the silver, Yours the wealth of land and sea; We but stewards of Your bounty Held in solemn trust will be. 3 Come, O Christ, and reign among us, King of Love and Prince of Peace; Hush the storm of strife and passion, Bid its cruel discords cease. By Your patient years of toiling, By Your silent hours of pain, Quench our fevered thirst of pleasure, Stem our selfish greed of gain. 4 Son of God, eternal Savior, Source of life and truth and grace, Word made flesh, whose birth among us Hallows all our human race: By your praying, by Your willing, That Your people should be one, Grant, O grant our hope’s fruition; Here on earth Your will be done.

To a life of love in action help us rise and pledge our word. 2 Lead your people into freedom, from despair your world release, that, redeemed from war and hatred, all may come and go in peace. 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.
