In Love We Gather around Your Altar Lyrics

1. In love we gather around Your altar,

For You we gather to love each other.

As once You said, “Your will be done”,

that forever our lives be made one.

2. Partaking now of this banquet holy,

Our lives made one by Your own true body as once You said,

“Your will be done”, that forever our lives be made one.

3. In mind, in heart, all our acts fulfilling, our bodies now in Your presence willing,

As once You said, “Your will be done”, that forever our lives made one.

4. This bread to nourish our soul and body in all our actions to know profoundly as once You said, “Your will be done”, that forever our lives made one.

5. This bond by which we become true shareds, in one true body, and now the bearers as once You said, “Your will be done”, that forever our lives be made one.

6. One day, at last in our home, forever, all things made one in your joyous splendor, As once You said, “Your will be done”, forever our lives be made one.
