1 Lord, who at thy first eucharist didst pray
that all thy church might be forever one,
grant us at every eucharist to say
with longing heart and soul, thy will be done.
Oh may we all one bread, one body be,
through this blest sacrament of unity.

2 For all thy church, O Lord, we intercede;
make thou our sad divisions soon to cease;
draw us the nearer each to each, we plead,
by drawing all to thee, O Prince of Peace;
thus may we all one bread, one body be,
through this blest sacrament of unity.

3 So, Lord, at length when sacraments shall cease,
may we be one with all thy church above,
one with thy saints in one unbroken peace,
one with thy saints in one unbounded love;
more blessed still in peace and love to be
one with the Trinity in unity.
