3 Beloved for Jesu's sake,
By him redeem'd of old,
All nations must come in, and make
One undivided fold :
While gather' d in by thee,
And perfected in one,
They all at once thy glory see
In thine eternal Son.
HYMN 693. l. m.
" The Spirit and the Bride say, Come."
1 TTEAD of thy Church, whose Spirit fills,
*■ A And flows through every faithful soul,
Unites in mystic love, and seals
Them one, and sanctifies the whole :
2 " Come, Lord," thy glorious Spirit cries,
And souls beneath the altar groan ;
" Come, Lord," the Bride on earth replies,
" And perfect all our souls in one."
3 Pour out the promised gift on all,
Answer the universal, " Come !"
The fulness of the Gentiles call,
And take thine ancient people home.
4 To thee let all the nations flow,
Let all obey the gospel word ;
Let all their bleeding Saviour know,
Fill'd with the glory of the Lord.
5 O for thy truth and mercy's sake,
The purchase of thy passion claim ;
Thine heritage the Gentiles take,
And cause the world to know thy name.
of Christ 631
HYMN 694. 6-8's.
" For the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it."
1 INTERNAL Lord of earth and skies,
■*-- * We wait thy Spirit's latest call :
Bid all our fallen race arise,
Thou who hast purchased life for all ;
Whose only name to sinners given,
Snatches from hell, and lifts to heaven.
2 The word thy sacred lips has past,
The sure irrevocable word,
That every soul shall bow at last,
And yield allegiance to its Lord ;
The kingdoms of the earth shall be
For ever subjected to thee.
3 Jesus, for this we still attend,
Thy kingdom in the isles to prove ;
The law of sin and death to end,
We wait for all the power of love,
The law of perfect liberty,
The law of life which is in thee.
4 O might it now from thee proceed,
With thee into the souls of men !
Throughout the world thy gospel spread ;
And let thy glorious Spirit reign,
On all the ransom'd race bestow'd ;
And let the world be fill'd with God !
HYMN 695. l. m.
Psalm xlvi.
1 ET Sion in her King rejoice,
