1 Father, united by Thy grace,
And each to each endeared,
With confidence we seek Thy face,
And know our prayer is heard.
2 Touched by the loadstone of Thy love,
Let all our hearts agree;
And ever towards each other move,
And ever move towards Thee.
3 Grant this, and then from all below
Insensibly remove!
Our souls their change shall scarcely know,
Made perfect first in love.
4 To us the ministry be given,
Which angels have above;
For love can make on earth a heaven,
And heaven is only love.
