Where charity and love prevail,
there God is ever found;
Brought here together by Christ's love,
by love are we thus bound.
With grateful joy and holy fear
God's charity we learn;
Let us with heart and mind and soul
now love God in return.
Forgive we now each other's faults
as we our faults confess;
And let us love each other well
in Christian holiness.
Let strife among us be unknown,
let all contention cease;
Be God's the glory that we seek,
be ours God's holy peace.
Let us recall that in our midst
dwells God's begotten Son;
As members of his body joined,
we are in Christ made one.
No race or creed can love exclude,
if honored be God's name;
Our family embraces all
whose Father is the same.
