Jesus, Lord, We Look to Thee

309 Jesus, Lord, We Look to Thee

1 Jesus, Lord, we look to thee,
   Let us in thy name agree;
   Show thyself the Prince of Peace:
   Bid our jars for ever cease.

2 By thy reconciling love,
   Ev'ry stumbling-block remove:
   Each to each unite, endear,
   Come and spread thy banner here!

3 Make us of one heart and mind,
   Courteous, pitiful, and kind;
   Lowly, meek, in thought and word,
   Altogether like our Lord.

4 Let us for each other care,
   Each the other's burden bear;
   To thy church the pattern give,
   Shew how true believers live.

5 Free from anger and from pride,
   Let us thus in God abide;
   All the depths of love express,
   All the heights of holiness!

6 Let us then with joy remove
   To the family above:
   On the wings of angels fly;
   Shew how true believers die.
