1 May we Thy precepts, Lord, fulfill,
And do on earth our Father's will,
As angels do above;
Still walk in Christ, the living Way,
With all Thy children, and obey
The law of Christian love.
And do on earth our Father's will,
As angels do above;
Still walk in Christ, the living Way,
With all Thy children, and obey
The law of Christian love.
2 So may we join Thy name to bless,
Thy grace adore, Thy power confess,
From sin and strife to flee:
One is our calling, one our name,
The end of all our hopes the same,
A crown of life with Thee.
Thy grace adore, Thy power confess,
From sin and strife to flee:
One is our calling, one our name,
The end of all our hopes the same,
A crown of life with Thee.
