1. Lord, we long to join our brethren
Whom our rival laws restrain,
But who study just as we do
Christ’s own standards to maintain.

2. Lord, we long to share their worship
Who prefer another form,
But whose anthems, just as ours do,
take Christ’s glory as their norm.

3. Lord, we long to stand beside them
in fulfilment of your plan
That by true faith shall your kingdom
bring reality to man.

4. For our church is not your kingdom:
this your word may teach us still.
No, your kingdom, Lord, is greater:
reconcile us in your will.
