2 To Jesus' Name give thanks and sing, Rejoice! rejoice! the Lord is King; 3 We for his sake count all things loss; 4 O let us stir each other up, And the sweet task of love. 5 Let all who for the promise wait, And, raised to our unsinning state, 6 Live, till the Lord in glory come, He now is fitting up your home; 717 4th P. M. 886, 886. Unity of spirit and of purpose. COME, wisdom, power, and grace divine; Come, Jesus, in thy name to join Who fain would prove thine utmost will, In love's benign command. 2 If pure essential love thou art, Thy nature into every heart, Bid all our simple souls be one, Baptized with heavenly fire. 3 Still may we to our centre tend, Companions through the wilderness, 4 Jesus, our tender'd souls prepare; The bowels of our bleeding Lamb, 5 Supply what every member wants; 718 7th P. M. 8 lines 7s. Witnesses for Jesus. YOME, and let us sweetly join, praise Give we all, with one accord, Glory to our common Lord: Hands, and hearts, and voices raise; 2 Strive we, in affection strive; 3 Sing we then in Jesus' Name, We are Jesus' witnesses. 719 7th P. M. 8 lines 7s. The feast of endless love. COME, thou high and lofty Lord, Lowly, meek, incarnate Word; 2 Jesus, we thy promise claim: 3 Let the fruits of grace abound; 4 Make us all in thee complete; 720 7th P. M. 8 lines 7s. Mutual love the bond of union. HILE we walk with God in light, WHIL God our hearts doth still unite: Dearest fellowship we prove,- Sweetly each, with each combined, 2 Still, O Lord, our faith increase ; Make, O make us meet for thee: Root out every seed of ill; Utterly abolish sin; Write thy law of love within. 3 Hence may all our actions flow; Love the proof that Christ we know Mutual love the token be, Lord, that we belong to thee: DUTIES AND TRIALS. 721 THE WARFARE. The panoply of truth. L. M. BEHOLD the Christian warrior stand In all the armour of his God; The Spirit's sword is in his hand, His feet are with the Gospel shod ; 2 In panoply of truth complete, 3 Undaunted to the field he goes; Yet vain were skill and valour there, Unless, to foil his legion foes, He takes the trustiest weapon, prayer. 4 Thus, strong in his Redeemer's strength, 722 A The sword and shield. L. M. RM me with thy whole armour, Lord; Support my weakness with thy might; Gird on my thigh thy conqu'ring sword, And shield me in the threat'ning fight: From faith to faith, from grace to grace, So in thy strength shall I go on; Till heaven and earth flee from thy face, And glory end what grace begun, |
