Jesus, Thou Hast Willed It

Jesus

Thou has willed it

That Thy Church shalt be

One in faith and spir­it

Ever one in Thee.

We the cross are bear­ing

Once on Je­sus laid;

We the pray­er are pray­ing

That our mas­ter prayed.

Jesus

Thou hast willed it

That Thy Church should be

One in faith and spir­it

Ever one in Thee.

Tho’ the time be dist­ant

Still we watch and pray

E’en tho’ faint and wea­ry

Waiting for the day;

When the Church unit­ing

In one host shall fight

’Gainst the pow­er of dark­ness

In the Lord’s own might.

Thou

our heav’n­ly mas­ter

Bid con­ten­tions cease;

Thou

true Prince of Sa­lem

Give Thy child­ren peace;

Peace from God the Fa­ther

Peace from God the Son

Peace from God the Spir­it

From the Three in One.
