O God of love, to Thee we bow

1.

O God of love, to Thee we bow

And pray for those before Thee now

That closely knit in holy vow

They may in Thee be one

2.

When days are filled with pure delight

When paths are plain and skies are bright

Walking by faith and not by sight

May they in Thee be one

3.

When stormy winds fulfill thy wall

And all their good seem turned to ill

Then trusting Thee completely, still

May they in Thee be one

4.

Whate’er in life shall be their share

Of quick’ning joy or burd’ning care

In pow’r to do and grace to bear

May they in Thee be one

5.

Eternal love with them abide

In thee for ever may they hide

For even death cannot divide

Those whom Thou makest one
