Thy glorious power, O Christ, employ,
T’ unite the world beneath thy sway;
Our idols utterly destroy,
Those other lords forever slay;
Thy Spirit of harmony and peace
To every child of man be given,
And all shall then thy name confess
The name that fills both earth and heaven.
Thy glorious power, O Christ, employ
