[Jesus Thee the Head we own]
Jesus Thee the Head we own,
The Saviour of mankind:
Thou of twain hast made us one,
Hast Jews and Gentiles join'd;
Both Thy mystic body are,
In Thee the scatter'd members meet:
Through Thine all-prevailing prayer
Our harmony complete.

By one Spirit inspired and led
We to each other cleave,
Nourish'd with immortal Bread
The life of faith we live:
Call'd to purity and peace
The fellowship of saints we prove
In the bond of perfectness,
And unity of love.

In Thy heavenly Father one,
We all His children are,
Of Thy flesh and of Thy bone
Thy holy nature share;
All into Thy Spirit drink,
All baptized into Thy name
One in heart and mind, we think,
And act, and speak, the same.

Closer knit to God and Thee
Jesus in us make known
All the hidden mystery,
The Holy Three in One:
Thus convinced the world shall feel
Thy Father's gracious will and mind,
Know He sent Thee down to dwell
In us, and all mankind.
