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