TRULY HE TAUGHT US TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER,
HIS LAW IS LOVE AND HIS GOSPEL IS PEACE.
CHAINS SHALL HE BREAK, FOR THE SLAVE IS OUR BROTHER,
AND IN HIS NAME ALL OPPRESSION SHALL CEASE.

LET ALL WITHIN US PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME.
CHRIST IS THE LORD! O PRAISE HIS NAME FOREVER!
HIS POWER AND GLORY EVERMORE PROCLAIM!
