EJ Thribb or JC Flannel?

From the London Guardian-

In general, this paper is pretty liberal and definitely supports gay rights, within churches as well as outside them. But there has to be a line drawn somewhere, and the Anglican Communion has crossed it. At the opening of their meeting in Jamaica this week, a hymn was sung, to the tune of "Ode to Joy", which may well have the most completely god-awful opening verse ever written. Here it is:

Lord of our diversity,
unite us all, we pray;
welcome us to fellowship
in your inclusive way.

Can any reader surpass this?
