O Blessèd Son of God

O bless­èd Son of God

In love and faith we plead

That Thou wouldst bind our minds and hearts

In bro­ther­hood of need.

Our el­der bro­ther Thou

Whose her­it­age we share

Our kin­dred lives we of­fer Thee

In bro­ther­hood of pray­er.

Thou didst the will of Him

Who sent Thee from ab­ove;

Thou send­est us

as He sent Thee

In bro­ther­hood of love.

To serve Thy king­dom

Lord

To qui­et sin’s tur­moil

Do Thou or­dain and con­se­crate

Our bro­ther­hood of toil.

Thou man of Ga­li­lee

O wilt Thou live again

Abide with­in

con­trol

in­spire

Our bro­ther­hood of men.
