O church of God united
To serve one common Lord
Proclaim to all one message
With hearts in glad accord
Christ ever goes before us
We follow day by day
With strong and eager footsteps
Along the upward way
From every land and nation
The ordered ranks appear
To serve one valiant leader
They come from far and near
They chant their one confession
They praise one living Lord
And place their sure dependence
Upon His saving word
Though creeds and tongues may differ
They speak O Christ of Thee
And in Thy loving Spirit
We shall one people be
Lord may our faithful service
And singleness of aim
Proclaim to all the power
Of Thy redeeming name
May Thy great prayer be answered
That we may all be one
Close bound by love united
In Thee God's blessed Son
To bring a single witness
To make the pathway bright
That souls who grope in darkness
May find the one true light
