THE SAVIOUR'S PETITION.

By A. M. A. Cornell

O, holy Father, keep, Keep through thine own Almighty name, These dear disciples of the Lamb, Now they in anguish weep; For now I leave them, and I come to thee— Keep those from strife whom thou hast given me!
That they may all be one As thou, my Father, art in me, And I thy Son am one with thee. Let the good work begun; Be consummated in their unity— From strife and sad divisions keep them free.
The glory thou didst give To me, thy well-beloved Son, I freely have bestowed on them, That they by grace may live; In love as brethren, that the world may see, And know by this that I am sent by thee.
And I in them will dwell, As thou hast always dwelt in me, That they in one may perfect be; That all the world may tell, That them thou lovest as thou lovest me, That praise and glory may be given thee. A. M. A. CORNELL.
