Prayer for Increase and Union in the Church. Acts 2. 38, 41-47

1 Thy church, O Lord, that’s planted here,
  O make it to increase
  With numbers, blessed with filial fear,
  Enjoying heavenly peace.

2 O may we all, dear Lord, as one,
  United ever be,
  Rejoicing in what Christ has done,
  Who groaned upon the tree.

3 May all each other’s burdens bear;
  Be simple, meek, and kind;
  And keep us safe from every snare,
  And all of humble mind.
