5 Come, let us seal without delay, C.M. 640 Fellow citizens with the saints.— 1 Eph. 2, 19. HAPPY the souls to Jesus joined, And saved by grace alone: Walking in all His ways, they find Their heaven on earth begun. 2 The church triumphant in Thy love, They sing the Lamb in hymns above, 3 Thee in Thy glorious realm they praise, 4 The holy to the holiest leads; 8.6.8.6.8.8. 641 And of the household of God.-Eph. 2, 19. 1 HOW sweet to think that all who love The Saviour's precious name, Who look by faith to Him above, Though severed wide by land or sea, 2 Christians who dwell on snow-clad Or on the burning strand, [ground, And those whose happy home is found, Are linked by more than earthly tie, 3 "Our Father," is the hallowed sound, 4 Yes, they are one-though some, we know, Have reached the home of love; In that bright world are mansions And all will soon be gathered there. S.M. 642 That they all may be one.-John 1 17, 21. BLEST are the sons of peace, Whose hearts and hopes are one, Whose kind designs to serve and please Through all their actions run. 2 Blest is the pious house Where zeal and friendship meet; Their songs of praise, their mingled VOWS, Make their communion sweet. 3 Thus when on Aaron's head They poured the rich perfume, 4 Thus on the heavenly hills 7s. 643 How pleasant it is for brethren to 1 dwell together in unity.-Ps. 133, 1. IS a pleasant thing to see TIS Brethren in the Lord agree; Children of a God of love Live as they shall live above: Lord, our great example be, Teach us all to love like Thee. 2 As the precious ointment, shed Upon Aaron's hallowed head, Downward through His garment stole, Spreading odours o'er the whole; So from our High Priest above To His church flows heavenly love. 3 Gently as the dews distil Dropping gladness where they fall, C.M. 644 Be kindly affectioned one to ano ther. Rom. 12, 10. 1 HOW sweet, how heavenly is the sight, When those who love the Lord, In one another's peace delight, 2 When each can feel his brother's sigh, And with him bear a part; When sorrow flows from eye to eye, 3 When free from envy, scorn, and pride, Our wishes all above; Each can his brother's failings hide, 4 When love, in one delightful stream, Through every bosom flows; When union sweet, and kind esteem, In every action glows. 5 Love is the golden chain that binds The happy souls above; And he's an heir of heaven that finds His bosom glow with love. 645 1 L.M. Be ye all of one mind.-1 Pet. 3, 8. LORD, my Saviour, and my King, Of all I have, or hope, the spring; Send down Thy Spirit from above, And warm my heart with holy love. 2 May I from every act abstain That hurts or gives my brother pain: Nay, every secret wish suppress That would abridge his happiness. 3 With pity let my breast o'erflow When I behold a brother's woe; And bear a sympathizing part, Whene'er I meet a wounded heart. 4 Let love through all my conduct shine, An image fair, though faint, of Thine! And thus may I Thy follower prove, Great Prince of peace, great God of love! S.M. 646 re are all one in Christ Jesus.— Gal. 3, 28. 1 LET party names no more 2 3 4. The Christian world o'erspread, Gentile and Jew, and bond and free, Are one in Christ their Head. Among the saints on earth Let mutual love be found; With mutual blessings crowned. Let bitterness and wrath Be banished far away; Those should in strictest friendship dwell, Who the same Lord obey. Thus will the church below Resemble that above, Where streams of endless pleasure flow, C.M. 647 Be of the same mind, one toward 1 another.-Rom. 12, 16. THE glorious universe around, The heavens with all their train, Sun, moon, and stars, are firmly bound In one mysterious chain. 2 God in creation thus displays While all His works with all His ways 3 In one fraternal bond of love, The saints below and saints above 4 Here, in their house of pilgrimage, There, through one bright, eternal age, 5 Lord, may our union form a part S.M. 648 Bear ye one another's burdens.— Gal. 6, 2. 1 BLEST be the tie that binds 2 3 4 Our hearts in Christian love! Before our Father's throne Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, We share our mutual woes, And often for each other flows When we asunder part It gives us inward pain: But we shall still be joined in heart, And hope to meet again. 5 This glorious hope revives 6 Our courage by the way; While each in expectation lives, And longs to see the day. From sorrow, toil, and pain, And sin we shall be free; And perfect love and friendship reign Through all eternity. 78. 649 Like-minded one toward another. -Rom. 15, 5. 1 JESUS, Lord, we look to Thee; Shew Thyself the Prince of Peace, 2 Make us of one heart and mind, |
