2 Strive we, in affection strive ; Let the purer flame revive, Such as in the martyrs glow'd, Dying champions for their God : We, like them, may live and love ; Call'd we are their joys to prove, Saved with them from future wrath, Partners of like precious faith. 3 Sing we then in Jesu's name, Now as yesterday the same ; One in every time and place, Full for all of truth and grace : We for Christ, our Master, stand, Lights in a benighted land : We our dying Lord confess ; We are Jesu's witnesses. 4 Witnesses that Christ hath died, We with him are crucified ; Christ hath burst the bands of death ; We his quick' ning Spirit breathe : Christ is now gone up on high ; Thither all our wishes fly : Sits at God's right hand above ; There with him we reign in love ! 484 For the Society Praying HYMN 520. 7's. 1 /^OME, thou high and lofty Lord ! ^> Lowly, meek, incarnate Word Humbly stoop to earth again ; Come and visit abject man ! Jesus, dear expected guest, Thou art bidden to the feast ; For thyself our hearts prepare : Come, and sit, and banquet there ! 2 Jesus, we thy promise claim : We are met in thy great name ; In the midst do thou appear, Manifest thy presence here ! Sanctify us, Lord, and bless ; Breathe thy Spirit, give thy peace ; Thou thyself within us move ; Make our feast a Feast of Love. 3 Let the fruits of grace abound ; Let us in thy bowels sound ; Faith, and love, and joy increase, Temperance and gentleness ; Plant in us thy humble mind ; Patient, pitiful, and kind, Meek and lowly let us be, Full of goodness, full of thee. 4 Make us all in thee complete , Make us all for glory meet, Meet to' appear before thy sight, Partners with the saints in light. Call, O call us each, by name. To the marriage of the Lamb ; Let us lean upon thy breast ; Love be there our endless feast ! For the Society Praying. 4oO HYMN 521. 7's.
