Command thy blessing from above,
O God, on all assembled here;
behold us with a Father's love,
while we look up with filial fear.
Command thy blessing, Jesus, Lord,
may we thy true disciples be;
speak to each heart the mighty word;
say to the weakest: follow me.
Command thy blessing, in this hour,
Spirit of truth, and fill this place
with humbling and with healing power,
with quickening and confirming grace.
O thou, our Maker, Savior, guide,
one true eternal God confessed,
may naught in life or death divide
the saints in thy communion blest.
[O thou, our Maker, Savior, guide,
one true eternal God confessed,
Whom thou hast joined
may none divide,
Nor dare to curse whom
thou hast blessed,]
With thee and these for ever bound,
May all who here in prayer unite,
With joyful songs thy throne surround,
Rest in thy love, and reign in light.
---Alternative verses---
Command thy blessing, in this hour,
Spirit of truth, and fill this place
with humbling and
with healing power,
with killing and
with quickening grace.
O thou, our Maker, Savior, guide,
one true eternal God confessed,
Whom thou hast joined
let none divide,
None dare to curse
who thou hast blest.
