Dass deine letzte Sorge war
Der Glieder Einigkeit.
[CHRISTIAN UNITY.]
Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
St. John, xvii. 11.
Thou who didst die for all and each,
And, in that last sad night,
Didst to thy flock so sweetly preach
Of love’s controlling might:
Still on thy little band impress,
Who else may disagree,
