588. Lord of All Nations

Lord of all nations, grant me grace To love all people, every race, And in each person may I see My kindred loved, redeemed by Thee. Break down the wall that would divide Thy children, Lord, on every side. My neighbor’s good let me pursue; Let Christian love bind warm and true. Forgive me, Lord, where I have erred By loveless act and thoughtless word. Make me to see the wrong I do Will crucify my Lord anew. Give me Thy courage, Lord, to speak Whenever strong oppress the weak. Should I myself the victim be, Help me forgive, remembering Thee. With Thine own love may I be filled And by Thy Holy Spirit willed, That all I touch, where’er I be, May be divinely touched by Thee.
