Christ the master, we disciples–
he is ours, and we are his.
2 Grant, Lord, that with your direction,
"Love each other" we comply.
Help us live in true affection,
your love to exemplify.
Let our mutual love be glowing
brightly so that all may view
that we, as on one stem growing,
living branches are in you.
3 Come, then, living church of Jesus,
covenant with him anew.
Unto him who conquered for us
may we pledge our service true.
May our lives reflect the brightness
of God's love in Jesus shown.

we belong to God alone. Scripture: John 13:34 Used With Tune: O DU LIEBE MEINER LIEBE Text Sources: Tr. composite

each proud division ends.
The love that made us, makes us one,

unseen, but ever near,
is in such friendship better known,
alive among us here,
alive among us here.

by all that God has done,
we'll go with joy, to give the world
the love that makes us one,
the love that makes us one. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:24 Used With Tune: DOVE OF PEACE
I come with joy, a child of God
