God the holy, God the strong,
Bless these gifts with grace and healing,
King to whom all gifts belong.
O Redeemer, hear our singing;
Listen to our voice and prayer.
Christ, our healer, in your mercy
Raise us up and make us whole;
Bless this oil to bring your people
Health of body, peace of soul.
O Redeemer, hear our singing;
Listen to our voice and prayer.
Christ, our light, our joy, our glory,
Strengthen us with heav'nly grace;
Build us as your holy temple,
God the Spirit's dwelling place.
O Redeemer, hear our singing;
Listen to our voice and prayer.
Christ, our leader, single-handed,
You have brought us victory;
Bless this oil to keep your people
Strong and watchful, bold and free.
O Redeemer, hear our singing;
Listen to our voice and prayer.
Christ, our King, our Priest, our Prophet,
Sealed as God's beloved Son,
With your chrism anoint your people,
Make them holy, make them strong.
O Redeemer, hear our singing;
Listen to our voice and prayer.
Priest of heaven, send your Spirit,
Holy priesthood's holy seal;
Bless this oil by which, good Shepherd,
Chosen shepherds you reveal.
O Redeemer, hear our singing;
Listen to our voice and prayer.
Give us joy, O Holy Spirit,
Joy that once on Christ you shed;
Send us out as God's true servants,
One with Christ, our glorious head.
O Redeemer, hear our singing;
Listen to our voice and prayer.
Be among us, God our Father,
Be among us, God the Son,
Be among us, Holy Spirit;
Dwell within us, make us one.
O Redeemer, hear our singing;
Listen to our voice and prayer.
