1 T ET us join, ('tis God commands,) ^-^ Let us join our hearts and hands ; Help to gain our calling's hope ; Build we each the other up : God his blessings shall dispense ; God shall crown his ordinance ; Meet in his appointed ways ; Nourish us with social grace. 2 Let us then as brethren love, Faithfully his gifts improve, Carry on the earnest strife, Walk in holiness of life; Still forget the things behind, Follow Christ in heart and mind, Tow'rd the mark unwearied press, Seize the crown of righteousness. 3 Plead we thus for faith alone, Faith which by our works is shown : God it is who justifies ; Only faith the grace applies ; -- Active faith that lives within, Conquers earth, and hell, and sin, Sanctifies, and makes us whole, Forms the Saviour in the soul. 4 Let us for this faith contend ; Sure salvation is its end : Heaven already is begun, Everlasting life is won.

PARTNERS of a glorious hope, Lift your hearts and voices up : Jointly let us rise, and sing Christ our Prophet, Priest, and King : Monuments of Jesu's grace, Speak we by our lives his praise ; Walk in him we have received ; Show we not in vain believed. While we walk with God in light God our hearts doth still unite ; Dearest fellowship we prove, Fellowship in Jesu's love : Sweetly each, with each combined, In the bonds of duty join'd, Feels the cleansing blood applied, Daily feels that Christ hath died. Still, O Lord, our faith increase ; Cleanse from all unrighteousness : Thee the' unholy cannot see ; Make, O make us meet for thee ! Every vile affection kill ; Root out every seed of ill ; Utterly abolish sin ; Write thy law of love within. Hence may all our actions flow ; Love the proof that Christ we know ; Mutual love the token be, Lord, that we belong to thee : Love, thine image, love impart ! Stamp it on our face and heart ! Only love to us be given ! Lord, we ask no other heaven
