We are the children of our Christ
Lord of kings, only Begotten Son of God
Molded by Thy master hand
Deemed worthy of this hallowed land (1)
Followers of the gospel’s iron rod.
To the course that rounds our lives
O Savior
bring Thy timeless love
To we
who live at Thy behest (2)
Thou
ministers and proves our best.
Thou
knows our lives, our faith, our home above.
Thou
wast sent by He who formed thee
In the
belly of a maid
She
birthed him in that humble room
So unlike
the heav’nly womb (3)
Where
death and sin dwell not, nor price be paid.
Thou
came and died amongst our kind
But
from that tomb, Thy cave of stone
Thou
rose and took Thy life again (4)
Then
walked among the sons of men.
That
we might live new seeds of life were sown.(5)
O, Sower
of eternal lives
Let
us prepare a path for thee
Of spirits
who will serve their Christ (6)
A bridge
of love and sacrifice
Meet
for Thy innocence and purity.
Give
us this day Thy bread of life
The
sacrament of broken crust
That
it may lead us to our Feast
Of endless
life (7), that e’en the least
Can
know his King who reigns among the just.
O help
me now, my precious Lord
To see
again Thy radiant face
To bask
forever in Thy light
Thy
shield that crushed the heel of night (8)
Before
the awesome bounty of Thy perfect grace.
Before
the awesome bounty of Thy perfect grace.
