Tune: Amazing Grace Lyrics:    Beloved, you who guard and guide and give for every need, reign in my heart, O Sovereign Christ; direct each thought and deed. O Sovereign Love, my root, my sun, my purpose and my peace, I spurn the world's vain, anxious rule, and trust your Law of Grace. The Empire of your justice, God, with mercy's clear command shall be my home; my loyalty is to no lesser land. In humble and obedient thanks I pledge my life to you, to join your work of justice, God, to make the world anew. Reign in my heart, O Christ, my Rule. In faith I am compelled to serve you, who by love alone have conquered all the world.
