V1
Gracious Father Son and Spirit,
Ever joined in bonds of love,
May your church share in the union
Of our God the three-in-one.
May the love of God our Father,
Poured on us in Christ the Son
In the union of His Spirit
Fill our hearts and make us one.
V2
We are one in Christ our Saviour -
In His death we all have died.
In His resurrection power
We in Him are made alive.
So we all, as ransomed sinners
Stand united in His love,
Drawing near to God together
By His Spirit through His Son.
V3
Through His word, our gracious Saviour
Draws us to Himself in love,
Builds us up into a Temple
Where by grace He dwells with us.
On foundations of His promise,
Built on Him our Cornerstone,
May we stand as one forever,
May His love in us be shown.
V4
Lord forgive our sad divisions.
In your gospel make us one,
Bound together in Your Spirit,
Bought by Jesus precious blood.
Living worthy of our calling,
Let us cast all strife aside
'Til as one we see His glory
As His perfect holy bride.
Ending
Keep us steadfast in Your promise,
Standing firm with all the saints,
'Til at last we come to heaven
And as one we see your face.
