UNISON

1. We stand u - nit - ed in the truth Which God be-stows on all: 2. Our earth- ly em-pires grow and thrive, Our mor-tal vi-sions soar; 3. May bound-less grace and peace pre - vail, And o - pen arms a - bound;

f Sal - va - tion as God's gift of grace, A priest-hood and a call, But earth's foun - da - tions turn to dust, The build - er's dream no more. May rich re - serves of Christ - like love With - in our lives be found;

A free - dom that has stood in spite Of tyr - an - ny and sword, So may we build up - on the Rock,And stand with hearts re - stored, Thus may we spread a feast for all To share with one ac - cord,

r r Up - on a com - mon ground of faith In Je- sus Christ our Lord. To wit-ness to a !iv - ing faith In Je - sus Christ our Lord. Up - on our corn- mon ground of faith In Je- sus Christ our Lord.
