One Sole Baptismal Sign

One sole bap­tis­mal sign

One Lord be­low

above

Zion

one faith is thine

One only watch­word—love;

From dif­fer­ent tem­ples though it rise

One song as­cend­eth to the skies.

Our Sac­ri­fice is one

One Priest be­fore the throne

The slain

the ris­en Son

Redeemer

Lord alone;

And sighs from con­trite hearts that spring

Our chief

our choic­est of­fer­ing.

O may that ho­ly pray­er

His ten­derest

and His last

His con­stant

lat­est care

Ere to His throne He passed

No long­er un­ful­filled re­main

The world’s of­fense

His peo­ple’s stain.

Head of Thy Church be­neath

The ca­tho­lic

the true

On all her mem­bers breathe

Her brok­en frame re­new;

Then shall Thy per­fect will be done

When Christ­ians love and live as one.
