Lord, Who the night
You were betrayed did
pray
That all Your Church
might be forever one;
Help us at every
Eucharist to say
With willing heart
and soul, “Your will
be done.”
That we may all one
bread, one body be
Through this, Your
sacrament of unity.
For all Your Church
on earth, we
intercede;
Lord, make our sad
divisions soon to
cease;
Draw us all closer,
each to each, we
plead,
By drawing all to
You, O Prince of
Peace;
So may we all one
bread, one body be,
Through this blest
sacrament of unity.
And hear our
prayer for wanderers
from Your fold;
Restore them, too,
Good Shepherd of the
sheep,
Back to the faith
your saints confessed
of old,
And to the Church
still pledged that
faith to keep.
Soon may we all one
bread, one body be,
Through this blest
sacrament of unity.
So, Lord, at
length when
sacraments shall
cease,
May we be one with
all your Church
above—
One with Your saints
in one unbroken
peace,
One as Your bride in
one unbounded love;
More blessèd still,
in peace and love to
be
One with the Trinity
in unity.
