The love that made us, makes us one, And strangers now are friends. 4 The Spirit of the risen Christ, Unseen, but ever near, Is in such friendship better known, Alive among us here. 5 Together met, together bound By all that God has done, We'll go with joy, to give the world The love that makes us one.

Refrain: Jesus, Jesus, Jesus - Sweetest name I know, Fills my every longing, Keeps me singing as I go. 2 All my life was wrecked by sin and strife; Discord filled my heart with pain. Jesus swept across the broken strings, Stirred the slumb'ring chords again. [Refrain] 3 Feasting on the riches of His grace, Resting 'neath His shelt'ring wing, Always looking on His smiling face - That is why I shout and sing. [Refrain] 4 Tho' sometimes He leads thro' waters deep, Trials fall across the way; Tho' sometimes the path seems rough and steep, See His footprints all the way. [Refrain] 5 Soon He's coming back to welcome me Far beyond the starry sky; I shall wing my flight to worlds unknown; I shall reign with Him on high. [Refrain] Used With Tune: SWEETEST NAME
