1. O, Spirit of God’s strength and might,
Create in us new life and light;
O, join us all in heart and mind,
That access to God’s throne we find
Within Thy light!
2. O, may we all united stand
By holy tie and sacred band,
As members of Christ’s body here,
Led by Thy Spirit true, sincere,
With one accord.
3. May we in perfect love be found
When we Thy table, Lord, surround;
Keep soul and body purified;
Thy blessings, Lord, be multiplied
Upon this feast.
4. Then come into our midst today;
Impart Thyself to us, we pray.
This cup and loaf are proof and sign
Of this, Thy covenant divine
In Jesus blood.
5. Anew, Lord, we are bound to Thee
Through Thy blest sacrifice, which we
Partook, that joined in heart and hand;
To Zion’s realm and holy land
We journey on.
6. Lord, lead us then by Thy strong hand
As pilgrims through this desert land;
We are pursued by many foes;
Deliver us from all our woes,
For we are Thine.
7. To Father, Son, and Spirit praise
For help and guidance on our ways!
Thou givest power from above,
Hast chosen us, through Christ, in love
To be Thine own!
8. Our joyful praise we sing to Thee,
O, Lord of glorious majesty!
Through Jesus Christ to Thee we pray
And bring our thanks to Thee today
Before Thy throne!
Create in us new life and light;
O, join us all in heart and mind,
That access to God’s throne we find
Within Thy light!
2. O, may we all united stand
By holy tie and sacred band,
As members of Christ’s body here,
Led by Thy Spirit true, sincere,
