Text:Jesu, Lord, we look to thee

CXCIV. Jesu, Lord, we look to thee

1 Jesu, Lord, we look to thee,
Let us in thy name agree;
Show thyself the Prince of Peace:
Bid our jars for ever cease.

2 By thy reconciling love,
Ev'ry stumbling-block remove:
Each to each unite, endear,
Come and spread thy banner here!

3 Make us of one heart and mind,
Courteous, pitiful, and kind;
Lowly, meek, in thought and word,
Altogether like our Lord.

4 Let us for each other care,
Each the other's burden bear;
To thy church the pattern give,
Shew how true believers live.

5 Free from anger and from pride,
Let us thus in God abide;
All the depths of love express,
All the heights of holiness!

6 Let us then with joy remove
To the family above:
On the wings of angels fly;
Shew how true believers die.
