_Peace in our hearts with God and man_, (_the best, the truest
gain_;)
And grant that thou being, O Lord, our leader and our guide,
_We may escape the snares of sin, and never from thee slide_.
Such measures of thy powerful grace grant, Lord, to us, we pray;
_That thou may'st be our Comforter at the last dreadful day_.
Of strife and of dissension dissolve, O Lord, the bands,
_And knit the knots of peace and love throughout all Christian
lands_.
Grant us the grace that we may know the Father of all might,
_That we of his beloved Son may gain the blissful sight_;
And that we may with perfect faith ever acknowledge thee,
_The Spirit of Father, and of Son, One God in Persons Three_.
To God the Father laud and praise, and to his blessed Son,
_And to the Holy Spirit of grace, co-equal Three in One_.
