The Hymnal ‎#495

495. May the grace of Christ our Saviour

1 May the grace of Christ our Saviour
And the Father's boundless love,
With the Holy Spirit's favor,
Rest upon us from above.

2 Thus may we abide in union
With each other and the Lord,
And possess, in sweet communion,
Joys which earth cannot afford.

Amen.
