O Christ, Our God

O Christ

our God

who with Thine own hast been

Our spir­its cleave to Thee

the Friend un­seen.

Vouchsafe that all who on Thy boun­ty feed

May heed Thy love

and prize Thy gifts in­deed.

Make ev­ery heart that is Thy dwell­ing place

A wa­tered gar­den filled with fruits of grace.

Each ho­ly pur­pose help us to ful­fill;

Increase our faith to feed up­on Thee still.

Illuminate our minds

that we may see

In all around us ho­ly signs of Thee.

And may such wit­ness in our lives ap­pear

That all may know Thou hast been with us here.

O grant us peace

that by Thy peace pos­sessed

Thy life with­in us we may ma­ni­fest.

So shall we pass our days in ho­ly fear

In joy­ful con­scious­ness that Thou art near.

So shalt Thou be for ev­er

lov­ing Lord

Our shield and our ex­ceed­ing great re­ward.
