In love and pity infinite,
Teach us, as ever in Thy sight,
To live our life to Thee.
2 Teach us the lesson Thou hast taught,
To feel for those Thy blood hath bought,
That every word, and deed, and thought,
May work a work for Thee.
3 For all are brethren, far and wide,
Since Thou, O Lord, for all hast died;
Then teach us, whatsoe'er betide,
To love them all in Thee.
4 In sickness, sorrow, want, or care,
Whatever it be ours to share,
May we, when help is needed, there
Give help as unto Thee.
5 And may Thy Holy Spirit move
All those who live, to live for love,
Till Thou shalt greet in heaven above
All those who live to Thee.
Amen. Used With Tune: JUST AS I AM
O God of Mercy, God of Might
