May the grace of Christ our Savior,
 
And the Father’s boundless love,
 
With the Holy Spirit’s favor,
 
Rest upon us from above!
“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. <<The second epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi, a city of Macedonia, by Titus and Lucas.>>.” (2 Corinthians 13:14)

Thus may we abide in union
 
With each other and the Lord,
 
And possess, in sweet communion,
 
Joys which earth can ne’er afford.
“For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.” (1 Corinthians 12:12-13)
“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:28)
