Now by the sacrifice of Christ
Who prayed that all would be made one,
And through the gift of Spirit life
All enmity is overcome.
Our Father, grantor of such peace,
We give it just as we've received.
(refrain)
Praise Father, Spirit and the Son,
In and through you we are one.
Praise Father, Spirit (F#7}-->and the Son.
In and through you we are one.
United only in disgrace
Until we heard the Spirit's call.
Now gender, culture, tongue and race,
No more divided by our Fall.
Effect of Babel, now undone!
Praise Father, Spirit and the Son.
(repeat refrain)
Tradition, class, philosophy,
Economy and pride of place --
All barriers to unity,
transcended by relentless grace.
Now reconciled, redeemed, restored:
The body of the risen Lord.
(repeat refrain)
