Verse 1
Father of all, from land and sea
The nations sing, “Thine, Lord, are we;
Countless in number, but in Thee
May we be one.”
Verse 2
O Son of God, whose love so free
For men did make Thee Man to be,
United to our God in Thee
May we be one.
Verse 3
Thou, Lord, didst once for all atone;
Thee may both Jew and Gentile own
Of their two walls the Corner-stone,
Making them one.
Verse 4
Join high with low, join young with old,
In love that never waxes cold;
Under one Shepherd, in one fold,
Make us all one.
Verse 5
O Spirit blest, who from above
Cam’st gently gliding like a dove,
Calm all our strife, give faith and love,
O make us one.
Verse 6
So, when the world shall pass away,
We shall awake with joy and say,
“Now in the bliss of endless day
We all are one.”
Christopher Wordsworth, “Father of All, From Land and Sea”
