O Christ, our God,
Who with Thine own hast been,
Our spirits cleave to Thee,
the Friend unseen.
Vouchsafe that all
who on Thy bounty feed
May heed Thy love,
and prize Thy gifts indeed.
Make every heart that is
Thy dwelling place
A watered garden filled
with fruits of grace.
Each holy purpose
help us to fulfill;
Increase our faith
to feed upon Thee still.
Illuminate our minds,
that we may see
In all around us
holy signs of Thee.
And may such witness
in our lives appear,
That all may know
Thou hast been with us here.
O grant us peace, that
by Thy peace possessed,
Thy life within us
we may manifest.
So shall we pass
our days in holy fear,
In joyful consciousness
that Thou art near.
So shalt Thou be for ever,
loving Lord,
Our Shield and our
exceeding great Reward.
