Based partly on a Collect [Formal Prayer]

Endeavour to keep unity
Of the Spirit, so be
In the bond of peace, family
Of God His people be
In sharing love practically
In deed and word freely
So witness to the world we may
Of Christ\'s salvation day
With all lowliness, gentleness
And meekness, Christ profess
With longsuffering, forbearing
Each other in each thing
Not pride or selfishness, what I
Want, but to self deny
To know Christ\'s way, so true life gain
E\'en times of suffering, pain
Yet we shall in His image grow
And more Christ\'s likeness show
Help us way of your Spirit go
Follow, where wind does blow
If earth-bound, give grace to release
What we hold to, so cease
Shall things of me, not what I will
But your good will fulfil
