Unity Is Strength

One little prayer ascending
   From a man bowed low in prayer
Can pierce the highest heavens
   And bring down blessings rare.

Where two or three are gathered
   (We have it on God's word)
There God is in the midst of them,
   Their prayer is surely heard.

Then let us pray together
   The greatest prayer, God's own--
Father, who art in heaven,
   We cry in suppliant tone.

Forgive us all our trespasses,
   Thy holy will be done,
Thy name we'll spread in every clime
   Till all the fold is one.

Give us this day our daily bread,
   Temptations keep at bay--
And strength will come with unity,
   When all together pray.
