Ever flowing in bliss from the throne . Who in Jesus believe, We the Spirit receive That proceeds from the Father and Son. 45b For the Society giving Thanks. 4 The unspeakable grace He obtain'd for our race, And the spirit of faith he imparts : Then, then we conceive How in heaven they live, By the kingdom of God in our hearts. 5 True believers have seen The Saviour of men, As his head he on Calvary bow'd : We shall see him again, When, with all his bright train, He descends on the luminous cloud. 6 We remember the word Of our crucified Lord, When he went to prepare us a place ; " I will come in that day, And transport you away, And admit to a sight of my face." 7 With earnest desire After thee we aspire, And long thy appearing to see ; Till our souls thou receive In thy presence to live, And be perfectly happy in thee. 8 Come, Lord, from the skies, And command us to rise, Ready made for the mansions above ; With our Head to ascend, And eternity spend In a rapture of heavenly love. HOW good and pleasant 'tis to see, When brethren cordially agree, And kindly think and speak the same ; A family of faith and love, Combined to seek the things above, And spread the common Saviour's fame. The God of grace, who all invites, Who in our unity delights, For the Society giving Thcmks. 457 Vouchsafes our intercourse to bless ; Revives us with refreshing showers, The fulness of his blessing pours, And keeps our minds in perfect peace. Jesus, thou precious Corner-Stone, Preserve inseparably one, Whom thou didst by thy Spirit join : Still let us in thy Spirit live, And to thy church the pattern give Of unanimity divine ! Still let us to each other cleave, And from thy plenitude receive Constant supplies of hallowing grace ; Till to a perfect man we rise, O'ertake our kindred in the skies, And find prepared our heavenly place. *HYMN 490. 4-6's
