1
Thy church, O Lord, that's planted here,
O make it to increase
With numbers, blessed with filial fear,
Enjoying heavenly peace.
2
O may we all, dear Lord, as one,
United ever be,
Rejoicing in what Christ has done,
Who groaned upon the tree.
3
May all each other's burdens bear;
Be simple, meek, and kind;
And keep us safe from every snare,
And all of humble mind.
