3 Thou only canst our wills control, Our wild unruly passions bind ; Tame the old Adam in our soul, And make us of one heart and mind. 4 Speak but the reconciling word, The winds shall cease, the waves subside We all shall praise our common Lord, Our Jesus, and him crucified. 5 Giver of peace and unity, Send down thy mild, pacific Dove : We all shall then in one agree, And breathe the spirit of thy love. 6 We all shall think and speak the same Delightful lesson of thy grace ; One undivided Christ proclaim, And jointly glory in thy praise. 7 O let us take a softer mould, Blended and gather'd into thee ; Under one Shepherd make one fold, Where all is love and harmony! For the Society Praying, 47o 8 Regard thine own eternal prayer, And send a peaceful answer down ; To us thy Father's name declare ; Unite and perfect us in one ! 9 So shall the world believe and know, That God hath sent thee from above, When thou art seen in us below, And every soul displays thy love. HYMN 506. 7's6's. John xiv. 16, ±7- 1 TATHER of our dying Lord, - Remember us for good ; O fulfil his faithful word, And hear his speaking blood ! Give us that for which he prays : Father, glorify thy Son ! Show his truth, and power, and grace, And send the Promise down. 2 True and faithful Witness, thou, O Christ, thy Spirit give ! Hast thou not received him now, That we might now receive ? Art thou not our living Head ? Life to all thy limbs impart : Shed thy love, thy Spirit shed In every waiting heart. 3 Holy Ghost, the Comforter, The gift of Jesus, come ; Glows our heart to find thee near, And swells to make thee room : Present with us thee we feel, Come, O come, and in us be ! With us, in us, live and dwell, To all eternity- 4/4 For the Society Praying. HYMN 507. l. m. 1 O AVIOUR of all, to thee we bow, And own thee faithful to thy word ; We hear thy voice, and open now Our hearts to entertain our Lord. 2 Come in, come in, thou heavenly Guest,
