Before the first time You displayed Your death

Before the first time You displayed Your death

You firstly prayed Your people all be one;

Each time we gather to display Your death

In us

O Lord

may this Your will be done.

There’s but one loaf

one Body we are made.

Breaking of bread the sign of this displayed.

For all Your churches

Lord

this prayer we bring

Not to divide or one another shun.

Draw us that we to one another cling;

Thus drawn

we’ll all hold fast to You as one.

Then but one loaf

one Body

we’ll be made

Breaking of bread the sign of this displayed.

We also pray for all the sheep who’ve left;

Good Shepherd

bring them back

no more to stray.

Back to the truth Your first disciples kept

Back to the church that keeps this truth today;

Soon but one loaf

one Body

we’ll be made

Breaking of bread the sign of this displayed.

Lord

soon the signs will all have passed away;

In heav’nly Zion

we’ll be one fore’er

With all saints

changeless peace enjoy for aye

Limitless love toward one another share.

What matchless joy

with all God’s sons to be

Enjoying love and peace eternally!
