3 With us thou art assembled here ;
But, O, thyself reveal !
Son of the living God, appear!
Let us thy presence feel.
4 Breathe on us, Lord, in this our day,
And these dry bones shall live ;
Speak peace into our hearts, and say,
" The Holy Ghost receive ! "
5 Whom now we seek, O may we meet !
Jesus, the Crucified,
Show us thy bleeding hands and feet,
Thou who for us hast died.
6 Cause us the record to receive :
Speak, and the tokens show :
"O be not faithless, but believe
In me, who died for you !"
HYMN 487. TsSf6's
WO are better far than one
For counsel or for fight :
How can one be warm alone,
Or serve his God aright ?
Join we then our hearts and hands ;
Each to love provoke his friend ;
Run the way of his commands,
And keep it to the end.
2 Woe to him whose spirits droop,
To him who falls, alone !
He has none to lift him up,
To help his weakness on :
Happier we each other keep ;
We each other's burdens bear ;
For the Society giving Thanks. 455
Never need our footsteps slip,
Upheld by mutual prayer.
3 Who of twain hath made us one,
Maintains our unity ;
Jesus is the Corner-Stone,
In whom we all agree ;
Servants of one common Lord,
Sweetly of one heart and mind,
Who can break a three-fold cord,
Or part whom God hath join'd ?
4 O that all with us might prove
The fellowship of saints !
Find supplied, in Jesu's love,
What every member wants :
Grasp we our high calling's prize,
Feel our sins on earth forgiven,
Rise, in his whole image rise,
And meet our Head in heaven !
For the Society giving Thanks.
HYMN 488. p. m.
1 TTOW happy are we, Who in Jesus agree
A A To expect his return from above !
We sit under his vine, And delightfully join
In the praise of his excellent love.
2 How pleasant and sweet, In his name when
we meet,
Is his fruit to our spiritual taste !
We are banqueting here On angelical cheer,
And the joys that eternally last.
