Heart to heart, as lute to lute : Sweetly on our spirits move ; Gently touch the trembling strings ; Make the harmony of love, Music for the King of kings ! 3 See the souls that hang on thee ! Sever'd though in flesh we are, Join'd in spirit all agree ; All thy only love declare ; Spread thy love to all around : Hark ! we now our voices raise ! -- Joyful consentaneous sound, Sweetest symphony of praise. 4 Jesu's praise be all our song ; While we Jesu's praise repeat, Glide our happy hours along, Glide with down upon their feet ! For the Society at Parting. o03 Far from sorrow, sin, and fear, Till we take our seats above, Live we all as angels here, Only sing, and praise, and love. HYMN 539. d. c. m. 1 T IFT up your hearts to things above, -L^ Ye followers of the Lamb, And join with us to praise his love, And glorify his name : To Jesu's Name give thanks and sing, Whose mercies never end : Rejoice ! rejoice ! the Lord is King ; The King is now our Friend ! 2 We, for his sake, count all things loss ; On earthly good look down ; And joyfully sustain the cross, Till we receive the crown. O let us stir each other up, Our faith by works to' approve, By holy, purifying hope, And the sweet task of love ! 3 Love us, though far in flesh disjoint, Ye lovers of the Lamb ; And ever bear us on your mind, Who think and speak the same : You on our minds we ever bear, Whoe'er to Jesus bow ; Stretch out the arms of faith and prayer, And, lo ! we reach you now. 4 The blessings all on you be shed, Which God in Christ imparts ; We pray the Spirit of our Head Into your faithful hearts. O04 for the Society at Parting. Mercy and peace your portion be, To carnal minds unknown, The hidden manna, and the tree Of life, and the white stone 5 Let all who for the Promise wait, The Holy Ghost receive ; And, raised to our un sinning state, With God in Eden live ! Live till the Lord in glory come,
