<p>Come and let us sweetly join,<br>
|
|
Christ to praise in hymns divine;<br>
|
|
Give we all with one accord<br>
|
|
Glory to our common Lord.</p>
|
|
<p>Sing we then in Jesus’ Name,<br>
|
|
Now as yesterday the same;<br>
|
|
One in every time and place,<br>
|
|
Full for all of truth and grace.</p>
|
|
<p>We for Christ, our Master, stand,<br>
|
|
Lights in a benighted land:<br>
|
|
We our dying Lord confess;<br>
|
|
We are Jesus’ witnesses.</p>
|
|
<p>Witnesses that Christ hath died,<br>
|
|
We with Him are crucified;<br>
|
|
Christ hath burst the bands of death,<br>
|
|
We His quickening Spirit breathe.</p>
|
|
<p>Strive we, in affection strive;<br>
|
|
Let the purer flame revive,<br>
|
|
Such as in the martyrs glowed,<br>
|
|
Dying champions for their God.</p>
|
|
<p>Make us all in Thee complete,<br>
|
|
Make us all for glory meet,<br>
|
|
Meet to appear before Thy sight,<br>
|
|
Partners with the saints in light.</p>
|
|
<p>We, like them, may live and love;<br>
|
|
Called we are their joys to prove,<br>
|
|
Saved with them from future wrath,<br>
|
|
Partners of like precious faith.</p>
|
|
<p>Let the fruits of grace abound;<br>
|
|
Let in us Thy vowels sound;<br>
|
|
Faith, and love, and joy increase,<br>
|
|
Temperance and gentleness.</p>
|
|
<p>Plant in us Thy humble mind;<br>
|
|
Patient, pitiful, and kind,<br>
|
|
Meek and lowly let us be,<br>
|
|
Full of goodness, full of Thee.</p>
|
|
<p>Christ is now gone up on high,<br>
|
|
Where to Him our wishes fly;<br>
|
|
Sits at God’s right hand above;<br>
|
|
There with Him we reign in love!</p>
|
|
<p>Come, Thou high and lofty Lord!<br>
|
|
Lowly, meek, incarnate Word!<br>
|
|
Humbly stoop to earth again,<br>
|
|
Come and visit abject men!</p>
|
|
<p>Hands and hearts and voices raise,<br>
|
|
Sing as in the ancient days;<br>
|
|
Antedate the joys above,<br>
|
|
Celebrate the feast of love.</p>
|
|
<p>Jesus, dear expected guest,<br>
|
|
Thou art bidden to the feast,<br>
|
|
For Thyself our hearts prepare,<br>
|
|
Come, and sit, and banquet there!</p>
|
|
<p>Jesus, we Thy promise claim,<br>
|
|
We are met in Thy great Name;<br>
|
|
In the midst do Thou appear,<br>
|
|
Manifest Thy presence here!</p>
|
|
<p>Sanctify us, Lord, and bless,<br>
|
|
Breathe Thy Spirit, give Thy peace,<br>
|
|
Thou Thyself within us move,<br>
|
|
Make our feast a feast of love.</p>
|
|
<p>Call, O call us each by name,<br>
|
|
To the marriage of the Lamb;<br>
|
|
Let us lean upon Thy breast,<br>
|
|
Love be there our endless feast!</p>
|
|
<p>Let us join, (’tis God commands)<br>
|
|
Let us join our hearts and hands<br>
|
|
Help to gain our calling’s hope,<br>
|
|
Build we each the other up.</p>
|
|
<p>God His blessings shall dispense,<br>
|
|
God shall crown His ordinance;<br>
|
|
Meet in His appointed ways;<br>
|
|
Nourish us with social grace.</p>
|
|
<p>Let us then as brethren love,<br>
|
|
Faithfully His gifts improve,<br>
|
|
Carry on the earnest strife,<br>
|
|
Walk in holiness of life.</p>
|
|
<p>Still forget the things behind,<br>
|
|
Follow Christ in heart and mind,<br>
|
|
Toward the mark unwearied press,<br>
|
|
Seize the crown of righteousness.</p>
|
|
<p>Plead we thus for faith alone,<br>
|
|
Faith which by our works is shown:<br>
|
|
God it is Who justifies;<br>
|
|
Only faith the grace applies.</p>
|
|
<p>Active faith that lives within,<br>
|
|
Conquers earth, and hell, and sin,<br>
|
|
Sanctifies, and makes us whole,<br>
|
|
Forms the Savior in the soul.</p>
|
|
<p>Let us for this faith contend,<br>
|
|
Sure salvation is its end:<br>
|
|
Heaven already is begun,<br>
|
|
Everlasting life is won.</p>
|
|
<p>Only let us persevere,<br>
|
|
Till we see our Lord appear,<br>
|
|
Never from the Rock remove,<br>
|
|
Saved by faith, which works by love.</p>
|
|
<p>Partners of a glorious hope,<br>
|
|
Lift your hearts and voices up,<br>
|
|
Jointly let us rise, and sing<br>
|
|
Christ our Prophet, Priest, and King.</p>
|
|
<p>Monuments of Jesus’ grace,<br>
|
|
Speak we by our lives His praise;<br>
|
|
Walk in Him we have received,<br>
|
|
Show we not in vain believed.</p>
|
|
<p>While we walk with God in light,<br>
|
|
God our hearts doth still unite;<br>
|
|
Dearest fellowship we prove,<br>
|
|
Fellowship in Jesus’ love.</p>
|
|
<p>Sweetly each, with each combined,<br>
|
|
In the bonds of duty joined,<br>
|
|
Feels the cleansing blood applied,<br>
|
|
Daily feels that Christ hath died.</p>
|
|
<p>Still, O Lord, our faith increase,<br>
|
|
Cleanse from all unrighteousness,<br>
|
|
Thee the unholy cannot see;<br>
|
|
Make, O make us meet for Thee!</p>
|
|
<p>Every vile affection kill,<br>
|
|
Root out every seed of ill,<br>
|
|
Utterly abolish sin,<br>
|
|
Write Thy law of love within.</p>
|
|
<p>Hence may all our actions flow,<br>
|
|
Love the proof that Christ we know;<br>
|
|
Mutual love the token be,<br>
|
|
Lord, that we belong to Thee</p>
|
|
<p>Love, Thine image, love impart!<br>
|
|
Stamp it on our face and heart!<br>
|
|
Only love to us be given!<br>
|
|
Lord, we ask no other heaven.</p>
