Jesus, Lord, we look to thee by Justin Heinrich Knecht — Lyrics
Jesus, Lord, we look to thee,
let us in thy name agree:
show thyself the Prince of Peace;
bid all strife for ever cease.
Make us of one heart and mind,
courteous, pitiful, and kind,
lowly, meek in thought and word,
altogether like our Lord.
Let us for each other care,
each the other’s burden bear;

About Jesus, Lord, we look to thee
The text of Jesus, Lord, we look to thee, expresses a fervent prayer for unity and Christian fellowship. The words implore Jesus to foster harmony among believers, eradicating strife and encouraging mutual care, kindness, and humility. The hymn asks for the church to be a model of true Christian living, with spirits joined to one another and to Christ. This sacred hymn, set for SATB choir, calls for a deep embodiment of love and holiness, free from negative emotions like anger and pride. It is a timeless plea for a community that reflects divine love and peace.
