Jesu, United by Thy Grace

Jesu

unit­ed by Thy grace

And each to each en­deared

With con­fi­dence we seek Thy grace

And know our pray­er is heard.

Still let us own our com­mon Lord

And bear Thy ea­sy yoke

A band of love

a three­fold cord

Which nev­er can be broke.

Make us in­to one Spir­it drink;

Baptize in­to Thy name;

And let us al­ways kind­ly think

And sweet­ly speak

the same.

Touched by the lode­stone of Thy love

Let all our hearts agree

And ev­er to­ward each oth­er move

And ev­er move to­wards Thee.

To Thee

in­se­pa­ra­bly joined

Let all our spir­its cleave;

O may we all the lov­ing mind

That was in Thee re­ceive.

This is the bond of per­fect­ness

Thy spot­less cha­ri­ty;

O let us

still we pray

pos­sess

The mind that was in Thee.

Grant this

and then from all be­low

Insensibly re­move:

Our souls their change shall scarce­ly know

Made per­fect first in love.

With ease our souls through death shall glide

Into their para­dise

And thence

on wings of an­gels

ride

Triumphant through the skies.

Yet

when the full­est joy is giv’n

The same de­light we prove

In earth

in para­dise

in Heav’n

Our all in all is love.
