Lyics

BELIEVING souls, of Christ belov'd,

Who have yourselves to him resign'd,

Your faith and practice, both approv'd,

A hearty welcome here shall find.



Now sav'd from sin and Satan's wiles,

Though by a scorning world abhorr'd,

Now share with us the Saviour's smiles;

Come in, ye ransom'd of the Lord.



In fellowship we join our hands,

And you an invitation give;

Unite with us in sacred bands;

The pledges of our love receive.



Do Thou, who art the church's Head,

This union with thy blessing crown;

And still, O Lord, revive the dead,

Till thousands more thy name shall own.
