LyicsJESUS, the Friend of man,
Invites us to his board;
The welcome summons we obey,
And own our gracious Lord.
Here we show forth his love,
Which spake in every breath.
Prompted each action of his life,
And triumphed in his death.
Here let our powers unite
His honored name to raise;
Let grateful joy fill every mind,
And every voice be praise.
One faith, one hope, one lord,
One God alone we know;
Brethern we are; let every heart
With kind affections grow.
