Our Souls, by Love Together Knit

Our souls by love to­ge­ther knit

Cemented

mixed in one

One hope

one heart

one mind

one voice

’Tis Heav’n on earth be­gun;

Our hearts have burned while Je­sus spoke

And glowed with sac­red fire;

He stopped and talked and fed

and blessed

And filled th’en­larged de­sire.

We’re sol­diers fight­ing for our God

Let trem­bling cow­ards fly;

We’ll stand un­shak­en

firm and fixed

With Christ to live and die:

Let de­vils rage and hell as­sail

We’ll cut our pas­sage through;

Let foes unite and friends de­sert

We’ll seize the crown our due.

The lit­tle cloud in­creas­es still

The heav’ns are big with rain;

We haste to catch the teem­ing show­er

And all its mois­ture drain:

A rill

a stream

a tor­rent flows

But pour the migh­ty flood;

O sweep the na­tions

shake the earth

Till all pro­claim Thee God.

And when Thou mak­est up Thy jew­els

And set Thy star­ry crown

When all Thy spark­ling gems shall shine

Proclaimed by Thee Thine own;

May we

a lit­tle band of love

We sin­ners saved by grace

From glo­ry in­to glo­ry changed

Behold Thee face to face.
