Command thy blessing from above,

O God, on all assembled here;

behold us with a Father's love,

while we look up with filial fear.

Command thy blessing, Jesus, Lord,

may we thy true disciples be;

speak to each heart the mighty word;

say to the weakest: follow me.

Command thy blessing, in this hour,

Spirit of truth, and fill this place

with humbling and with healing power,

with quickening and confirming grace.
