Father! we look up to Thee;

Let us in Thy love agree;

Thou, who art the God of peace,

Bid contention ever cease.

Make us of one heart and mind,

Self-forgetful, true and kind;

Strong, yet meek in thought and word,

Like Thy Son, our blessed Lord.

Let us for each other care,

Each the other’s burden bear;

Ready, when reviled, to bless;

Studious of the law of peace.

Father! all our souls inspire,

Fill us with love’s sacred fire;

Guided by that blessed light,

Order all our steps aright.

Free from anger, free from pride,

Let us thus in Thee abide;

All the depths of love express,—

All the heights of holiness.
