4718. O Blessèd Son of God

1. O blessèd Son of God,
In love and faith we plead,
That Thou wouldst bind our minds and hearts
In brotherhood of need.

2. Our elder brother Thou,
Whose heritage we share,
Our kindred lives we offer Thee,
In brotherhood of prayer.

3. Thou didst the will of Him
Who sent Thee from above;
Thou sendest us, as He sent Thee,
In brotherhood of love.

4. To serve Thy kingdom, Lord,
To quiet sin’s turmoil,
Do Thou ordain and consecrate
Our Brotherhood of toil.

5. Thou man of Galilee,
O wilt Thou live again,
Abide within, control, inspire,
Our brotherhood of men.
