2 He bids us build each other up,
And gather'd into one,

To our high calling's glorious hope,
We hand in hand go on.

3 The gift which he on one bestows,
We all delight to prove,

The grace through ev'ry vessel flows,
In purest streams of love.

4 Ev'n now we think and speak the same,
And cordially agree,
United all through Jesu's name

In perfect harmony.

5 We all partake the joy of one,
The common peace we feel;

A peace to sensual minds unknown,
A joy unspeakable.

6 And if our fellowship below
In Jesus be so sweet,

1

What height of rapture shall we know, When round his throne we meet!

Jehudijah.] HYMN 438. L. M.

UNCH

[NCHANGEABLE, almighty Lord, Our souls upon thy truth we stay ; Accomplish now thy faithful word, And give, O give us all one way! 2 O let us all join hand in hand,

Who seek redemption in thy blood;
Fast in one mind and spirit stand,

And build the temple of our God.
3 Thou only canst our wills control,
Our wild unruly passions bind;
Tame the old Adam in our soul,
And make us of one heart and mind.

4 Speak but the reconciling word,

The winds shall cease, the waves subside; We all shall praise our common Lord, Our Jesus, and him crucified.

5 Giver of peace and unity,

Send down thy mild, pacific Dove; We all shall then in one agree,

And breathe the spirit of thy love.

6 We all shall think and speak the same
Delightful lesson of thy grace:
One undivided Christ proclaim,
And jointly glory in thy praise.
70 let us take a softer mould;

Blended and gather'd into thee;
Under one Shepherd make one fold,
Where all is love and harmony.

8 Regard thine own eternal pray'r,
And send a peaceful answer down;
To us thy Father's name declare;
Unite and perfect us in one!

9 So shall the world believe and know,
That God hath sent thee from above,
When thou art seen in us below,
And every soul displays thy love.

Redeeming Love.] HYMN 439. 4 lines 7's.

1

GOD of Love, that bear'st the pray'r,

Kindly for thy people care:

Who on thee alone depend:

Love us, save us to the end.

2 Save us in the prosperous hour,
From the flattering tempter's pow'r;

From his unsuspected wiles,

From the world's pernicious smiles.

3 Cut off our dependence vain,
On the help of feeble man;
Every arm of flesh remove;
Stay us on thy only love!

4 Men of worldly, low design,
Let not these thy people join,
Poison our simplicity,

Drag us from our trust in thee.

5 Save us from the great and wise,
Till they sink in their own eyes,
Tamely to thy yoke submit,
Lay their honour at thy feet.

6 Never let the world break in,
Fix a mighty gulf between;
Keep us little and unknown,
Priz'd and lov'd by God alone.

7 Let us still to thee look up,
Thee, thy Israel's Strength and Hope;
Nothing know, or seek beside
Jesus, and him crucified.

3 Far above all earthly things,
Look we down on earthly kings!
Taste our glorious liberty;

1

Find our happy all in thee!

New Sabbath.] HYMN 440. L. M.

AVIOUR of all, to thee we bow,

SAVI

We hear thy voice, and open now

Our hearts to entertain our Lord. 2 Come in, come in, thou heavenly Guest, Delight in what thyself hast giv'n; On thy own gifts and graces feast,

And make the contrite heart thy heav'n.
R

3 Smell the sweet odour of our prayers,
Our sacrifice of praise approve ;
And treasure up our gracious tears,
Who rest in thy redeeming love.
4 Beneath thy shadow let us sit,

Call us thy friends, and love, and bride;
And bid us freely drink and eat,

Thy dainties, and be satisfied.

5 0 let us on thy fulness feed!

1

And eat thy flesh, and drink thy blood!
Jesus, thy blood is drink indeed,
Jesus, thy flesh is angels' food.

The heavenly manna faith imparts:
Faith makes thy fulness all our own;
We feed upon thee in our hearts,

And find that heaven and thou art one.
Rest.] HYMN 441. 6 lines 7's.

C

ENTRE of our hopes thou art,
End of our enlarg'd desires;
Stamp thine image on our heart;
Fill us now with heavenly fires;
Cemented by love divine,
Seal our souls for ever thine!

2 All our works in thee be wrought,
Levell'd at one common aim:
Every word, and every thought,
Purge in the refining flame :
Lead us through the paths of peace,
On to perfect holiness.

3 Let us altogether rise,

To thy glorious life restor'd; Here regain our Paradise,

Here prepare to meet our Lord: Here enjoy the earnest giv'n: Travel hand in hand to heav'n!

Broadmead.] HYMN 442. 6 lines 8's.

1

JESUS, with kindest pity see,

The souls that would be one in thee!
If now accepted in thy sight,

Thou dost our upright hearts unite,
Allow us even on earth to prove
The noblest joys of heavenly love!
2 Before thy glorious eyes we spread
The wish which doth from thee proceed;
Our love from earthly dross refine ;
Holy, angelical, divine,

Thee, its great Author, let it show,
And back to the pure fountain flow.
3 A drop of that unbounded sea,
O Lord, resorb it into thee!

While all our souls, with restless strife,
Spring up into eternal life :

And lost in endless raptures prove
Thy whole immensity of love.

4 A spark of that ethereal fire,
Still let it to its source aspire :
To thee in every wish return,
Intensely for thy glory burn:
While all our souls fly up to thee,
And blaze through all eternity.

Heavenly Joy.] HYMN 443. C. M.

O! what an entertaining sight
Those friendly brethren prove,
Whose cheerful hearts in bands unite,
Of harmony and love!

2 Where streams of bliss from Christ the spring, Descend on ev'ry soul;

And heav'nly peace with balmy wing
Shades and revives the whole.
