Lyics

We now have heard our brethren tell,
How they have 'scap'd the snares of hell-
They all relate that conq'ring grace,
Which gives them in the church a place.


The testimony they have giv'n,
Now proves that they are heirs of heav'n;
Our fellowship to them we give-
Now we'll unite in Christ to live.


Assimulated unto God,
Our feet with gospel peace and shod-
We'll walk in love, the narrow path
That leads from sorrow, sin and death.


Let sinners now behold and see,
How we in Christ, in love agree;
Nothing but sin shall separate
The fellowship we now relate.


All sinful pleasure we'll deny,
Like right'ous men we'll live and die-
Like Angels we shall shine at last,
When all this storm of life is past.
