Means of Grace
3 Help us to help each other, Lord, Each other's cross to bear ; Let each his friendly aid afford, And feel his brother's care. 4 Help us to build each other up, Our little stock improve ; Increase our faith, confirm our hope, And perfect us in love. 5 Up into thee, our living Head, Let us in all things grow, Till thou hast made us free indeed, And spotless here below. 6 Then, when the mighty work is wrought. Receive thy ready bride : Give us in heaven a happy lot With all the sanctified. HYMN 504. c. m. 1 TESUS, united by thy grace, ** And each to each endear'd, With confidence we seek thy face, And know our prayer is heard. For the Society Praying. 471 2 Still let us own our common Lord, And bear thy easy yoke ; A band of love, a threefold cord? Which never can be broke. 3 Make us into one spirit drink ; Baptize into thy name ; And let us always kindly think, And sweetly speak, the same. 4 Touch' d by the loadstone of thy love, Let all our hearts agree ; And ever tow'rds each other move, And ever move tow'rds thee. 5 To thee inseparably join'd, Let all our spirits cleave ; O may we all the loving* mind That was in thee receive ! 6 This is the bond of perfectness, Thy spotless charity ; O let us (still we pray) possess The mind that was in thee ! 7 Grant this, and then from all below Insensibly remove : Our souls their change shall scarcely know, Made perfect first in love ! 8 With ease our souls thro' death shall glide Into their paradise ; And thence, on wings of angels, ride Triumphant through the skies. 4 / *2 For the Society Praying, 9 Yet when the fullest joy is given, The same delight we prove ; In earth, in paradise, in heaven, Our all in all is love. HYMN 505. jl. m. 1 T TNCHANGEABLE, almighty Lord, ^ Our souls upon thy truth we stay ; Accomplish now thy faithful word, And give, O give us all one way ! 2 O let us all join hand in hand, Who seek redemption in thy blood ; Fast in one mind and spirit stand, And build the temple of our God !
