Son of God eternal Savior
Source of life and truth and grace

Fill us with Your love and pity
Heal our wrongs and help our need.

Bind us all as one together
In Your 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 You Lord have lived for others
So may we for others live.
Freely have Your gifts been granted;
Freely may Your servants give.
Yours the gold and Yours the silver
Yours the wealth of land and sea;
We but stewards of Your bounty
Held in solemn trust will be.

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 Your patient years of toiling
By Your silent hours of pain
Quench our fevered thirst of pleasure
Stem our selfish greed of gain.
