God, Bless Your Church with Strength!

God

bless Your church with strength!

Wherever we may be

Upbuild Your serv­ants as we work

In com­mon mi­nis­try.

Urge us from fledg­ling faith

To ven­ture and to soar

Through op­en skies

to sing the praise

Of Christ whom we ad­ore.

God

bless Your church with life!

May all our branch­es thrive

Unblemished

whole­some

bear­ing fruit

Abundantly al­ive.

From You

one ho­ly vine

In free­dom may we grow;

Sustain us in our mis­sion

Lord

Your love and peace to show.

God

bless Your church with hope!

Despite cha­ot­ic days

May we in cha­os shine to light

A path­way through life’s maze.

May jus­tice be our aim

And kind­ness ours to share

In hum­ble­ness O may we walk

Assured our God is there!
