17: MAY the grace of Christ our Saviour

17: MAY the grace of Christ our Saviour

by John Newton (1725-1807)

1 MAY the grace of Christ our Saviour,
And the Father's boundless love,
With the Holy Spirit's favour,
Rest upon us from above.

2 Thus may we abide in union
With each other and the Lord,
And possess, in sweet communion,
Joys which earth can ne'er afford.
