"For we, being many, are one bread, and one body:
for we are all partakers of that one bread."
for we are all partakers of that one bread."
- I Corinthians 10:17
Father, at thy footstool see
THose who now are one in thee!
Draw us by thy grace alone,
Give, O give us to thy Son.
Jesus, Friend of humankind,
Let us in thy name be join'd:
Each to each unite and bless,
Keep us still in perfect peace.
Heavenly, all-alluring Dove,
Shed thy overshadowing love;
Love, the sealing grace, impart,
Dwell within our single heart:
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Be to us what Adam lost,
Let is in thine image rise;
Give us back our paradise!
