CHRISTIAN HEARTS, IN LOVE UNITED
1. Christian
hearts, in love united;
Seek alone in Jesus
rest;
Has He not your
love excited?
Then let love
inspire each breast.
Members - on our
Head depending,
Lights - reflecting
Him, our Sun,
Brethren - His
commands attending
We in Him, our
Lord, are one.
2. Come then, come,
O flock of Jesus,
Covenant with Him
anew;
Unto Him, Who
conquered for us,
Pledge we love and
service true;
And should our
love's union holy
Firmly linked no
more remain,
Wait ye at His
footstool lowly,
Till He draw it
close again.
3. Grant, Lord,
that with Thy direction,
"Love each
other,'' we comply,
Aiming with
unfeigned affection
Thy love to
exemplify;
Let our mutual love
be glowing;
Thus will all men
plainly see
That we, as on one
stem growing,
Living branches are
in Thee.
4. O that such may
be our union
As Thine with the
Father is,
And not one of our
communion
E'er forsake the
path of bliss;
May our light 'fore
men with brightness
From Thy light
reflected shine;
Thus the world will
bear us witness
That we, Lord, are
truly Thine.
