Hymn Context Compare
Attend, and join the bliss­ful choir;
To act an hon­est part,
Of char­ity and love!
We now re­fer to God alone.
God will­eth you with us to stay.
With har­vests wave the fields.
Attend and join the bliss­ful choir;
For all Thy gifts we bless Thee, Lord,
To Thee the praise de­signed;
That my Be­lov­èd’s mine, and I am His?
Like wil­lows by the wa­ters thrive.
About my path to shine;
Somewhat of re­sig­na­tion’s tone.

But chief­ly

Adore, and love, and praise the Lord.
And pure­ness in my heart;
To shade the ear­ly plant;
To Thy sole glo­ry we con­fess,
’Tis yours the spir­it to be­friend,
Are in the Gos­pel seen;
Adore and love and praise the Lord!
Thy par­don­ing grace, Thy quick­en­ing word,
The hearts of all man­kind.
That through Thy sac­ri­fice Thou, Lord, art mine.
To hear His word and seek His face;
And on­ly trust in Thine.
Above the world’s un­cer­tain haze,
