Full Lyrics

1. Thou, who at Thy first Eu- cha- rist didst pray That all Thy Church might be for- ev- er one, Grant us at ev- 'ry Eu- cha- rist to say With long- ing heart and soul, "Thy will be done." O may we all one bread, one bo- dy be, Through this blest sac- ra- ment of un- i- ty.

2. For all Thy Church, O Lord, we in- ter- cede; Make Thou our sad di- vi- sions soon to cease; Draw us the near- er each to each, we plead, By draw- ing all to Thee, O Prince of Peace; Thus may we all one bread, one bo- dy be, Through this blest sac- ra- ment of un- i- ty.

3. We pray Thee too for wan- d'rers from Thy fold; O bring them back, good Shep- herd of the sheep, Back to the faith which saints be- lieved of old, Back to the Church which still that faith doth keep; Soon may we all one bread, one bo- dy be, Through this blest sac- ra- ment of un- i- ty.

4. So, Lord, at length when sac- ra- ments shall cease, May we be one with all Thy Church a- bove, One with Thy saints in one un- bro- ken peace, One with Thy saints in one un- bound- ed love; More bless- �d still, in peace and love to be One with the Trin- i- ty in un- i- ty.
