AUSTRIA. 8, 7. D. FRANCIS J PH HAYDN. 776 God in the midst of her. 1 GLORIOUS things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He, whose word cannot be broken, On the Rock of ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? 2 See, the streams of living waters, Ever flows our thirst to assuage? Grace, which, like the Lord, the giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hovering, JOHN NEWTON. 777 God her everlasting light. 1 HEAR what God the Lord hath spoken: O my people, faint and few, Comfortless, afflicted, broken, Fair abodes I build for you. Scenes of heartfelt tribulation Shall no more perplex your ways; 2 There, like streams that feed the garden, Peace and righteousness shall reign; 3 Ye, no more your suns descending, WILLIAM COWPER.

LOWELL MASON. 780 The golden chain. 1 How sweet, how heavenly is the sight, When those who love the Lord In one another's peace delight, And so fulfill his word! 2 When each can feel his brother's sigh, And with him bear a part! When sorrow flows from eye to eye, 3 When, free from envy, scorn, and pride, Our wishes all above, Each can his brother's failings hide, 4 Let love, in one delightful stream, 5 Love is the golden chain that binds And he's an heir of heaven who finds JOSEPH SWAIN. 1 COME in, thou blessed of the Lord, We welcome thee with warm accord, 2 The hand of fellowship, the heart 3 Come with us; we will do thee good, As God to us hath done; Stand but in him as those have stood Whose faith the victory won. 4 And when, by turns, we pass away, As star by star grows dim, May each, translated into day, 782 JAMES MONTGOMERY. United-though separate. 1 BLEST be the dear uniting love, 2 Joined in one spirit to our Head, 3 0 may we ever walk in him, 4 Closer and closer let us cleave 5 Partakers of the Saviour's grace, 6 Then let us hasten to the day CHARLES WESLEY.

JOHN HENRY CORNELL. 783 Love, the test of discipleship. 1 OUR God is love; and all his saints 2 Teach us to love each other, Lord, 3 Heirs of the same immortal bliss, 4 So may the unbelieving world 784 THOMAS COTTERILL. The law of Christ. 1 TRY us, O God, and search the ground Of every sinful heart; Whate'er of sin in us is found, O bid it all depart. 2 If to the right or left we stray, But guide our feet into the way 3 Help us to help each other, Lord, Let each his friendly aid afford, 4 Help us to build each other up, Increase our faith, confirm our hope, 5 Up into thee, our living Head, Till thou hast made us free indeed, 6 Then, when the mighty work is wrought, CHARLES WESLEY. 785 The loadstone of His love. 1 JESUS, united by thy grace, A band of love, a threefold cord, 3 Make us into one spirit drink; And let us alway kindly think, 4 Touched by the loadstone of thy love, Let all our hearts agree, And ever toward each other move, Doxology. CHARLES WESLEY. To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, TATE AND BRADY. HUMMEL. C. M. HEINRICH CHRISTOPHER ZEUNER. 786 Rejoicing in hope. 1 LIFT up your hearts to things above, Ye followers of the Lamb, And join with us to praise his love, 2 To Jesus' name give thanks and sing, 3 We for his sake count all things loss; 4 0 let us stir each other up, Our faith by works to approve, By holy, purifying hope, 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, 3 Behold the innumerable host 4 Behold the blest assembly there, 5 The saints on earth and all the dead But one communion make; All join in Christ, their living Head, And of his grace partake. 6 In such society as this My weary soul would rest: The man that dwells where Jesus is, Must be forever blest. 1 THE glorious universe around, 2 In one fraternal bond of love, The saints below and saints above 3 Here, in their house of pilgrimage, Thy statutes are their song; There, through one bright, eternal age, 4 Lord, may our union form a part JAMES MONTGOMERY. |
