A PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY, by                    
First Line: O master of the galilean way
Last Line: To heal a wounded world and bring it peace!
Subject(s): Christianity


O Master of the Galilean Way,
Forgive us for the vows we fail to keep:
Forgive us that we so neglect thy sheep,
So idly waste this shining harvest day!
Forgive us for the stumblingblocks we lay
Along the paths by which men seek thee!
Sweep
From our small minds the strife that holds thee cheap!
Break thou the bread of life with us, we pray!
What matter if we cannot understand
The mystery of Love that is Divine,
Nor pierce the veil! Dear Lord, our faith increase
To know that, since our hands may reach thy hand,
Our lives are made all-powerful, through thine,
To heal a wounded world and bring it peace!
