Son of God, Eternal Savior

Son of God

eter­nal Sav­ior

Source of life and truth and grace

Son of Man

whose birth in­car­nate

Hallows all our hu­man race

Thou

our head who

throned in glo­ry

For Thine own dost ev­er plead

Fill us with Thy love and pi­ty;

Heal our wrongs

and help our need.

Bind us all as one to­ge­ther

In Thy Church’s sac­red fold

Weak and heal­thy

poor and weal­thy

Sad and joy­ful

young and old.

Is there want

or pain

or sor­row?

Make us all the bur­den share.

Are there spir­its crushed and brok­en?

Teach us

Lord

to soothe their care.

As Thou

Lord

hast lived for oth­ers

So may we for oth­ers live;

Freely have Thy gifts been grant­ed

Freely may Thy serv­ants give.

Thine the gold and Thine the sil­ver

Thine the wealth of land and sea

We but stew­ards of Thy boun­ty

Held in so­lemn trust for Thee.

Come

O Christ

and reign among us

King of love

and Prince of peace

Hush the storm of strife and pas­sion

Bid its cru­el dis­cords cease:

By Thy pa­tient years of toil­ing

By Thy si­lent hours of pain

Quench our fev­ered thirst of plea­sure

Shame our self­ish greed of gain.

Son of God

eter­nal Sav­ior

Source of life and truth and grace

Son of Man

whose birth in­car­nate

Hallows all our hu­man race

Thou who prayedst

Thou who will­est

That Thy peo­ple should be one

Grant

O grant our hope’s fru­ition:

Here on earth Thy will be done.
