Guide the church to true commitment, Give direction now, we ask; Fit us for the work of building, Dedicate us to the task. 2 Come, Christ Jesus, flesh and spirit, Sure foundation, cornerstone, Help us form the church eternal, May Your vision be our own. Send a message to each follower, Lead all people to Your way; Urge us to strong faith and action As we build the church today. 3 Come, great Spirit, in and with us, Tune our ears to hear Your call; Through the moving of Your presence. Let redeeming love recall Ministry in dedication, Love embodied in our deeds; Challenge us to do Your bidding, See Your purpose, fill all needs. 4 Come, O come, in celebation, Household of the one true God. In commitment and rejoicing Let us go where Christ has trod; As we act in faith and reverence. Let us, Lord, the future see; Place us in the church triumphant, Now and for eternity.
