243b. Put forth, O God, thy Spirit's might

1 Put forth, O God, thy Spirit's might
And bid thy Church increase,
In breadth and length, in depth and height,
Her unity and peace.

2 Let works of darkness disappear
Before thy conquering light;
Let hatred and tormenting fear
Pass with the passing night. A-men.

3 Let what apostles learned of thee
Be ours from age to age;
Their steadfast faith our unity,
Their peace our heritage.

4 O Judge divine of human strife,
O vanquisher of pain!
To know thee is eternal life,
To serve thee is to reign.

Amen.
