Verse 1
Obedient to our Lord’s command,
Join every heart and every hand
Of those who Jesus know
T’ advance the kingdom of his grace,
To publish our Redeemer’s praise,
And spread his love below.
Verse 2
O were we in thy Spirit join’d!
One heart, one judgment, and one mind
To all the labourers give,
Unite us closer, Lord, to Thee,
That all may in thy name66 agree,
And to thy glory live:
Verse 3
That all may think, and speak the same,
Jointly our common Lord proclaim,
Our mission fully prove,
Determined Thee alone to know,
And to thy church the pattern show
Of pure primeval love.
