LyicsOUR souls by love together knit,
Cemented, join'd in one;
One hope, one heart, one mind, one voice-
'Tis heaven on earth begun.
Our hearts have burn'd while Jesus spoke,
And glow'd with sacred fire;
He stoop'd, and talk'd, and fed, and bless'd,
And fill'd th' enlarged desire.
A Saviour, let creation sing!
A Saviour, let all heaven ring!
He's God with us, we feel him ours;
His fulness in our souls he pours!
'Tis almost done,
'Tis almost o'er;
We'er joining them who've gone before;
We soon shall meet to part no more.
We're soldiers fighting for our God,
Let trembling cowards fly;
We'll stand unshaken, firm, and fix'd,
With Christ to live and die.
Let Satan rage, and hell assail,
We'll fight our passage through;
Though foes unite, and friends desert,
We'll seize the prize in view.
A Saviour, &c.
The little cloud increases still,
The heav'ns are big with rain;
We haste to catch the teeming shower,
And all its moisture drain;
A rill, a stream, a torrent flows,
Now pours the mighty flood-
O sweep the nations, shake the earth,
Till all proclaim the Lord!
A Saviour, &c.
And when thou mak'st thy jewels up,
And sett'st thy starry crown,
And all thy sparkling gems shall shine,
Proclaim'd by thee thine own;
May we, the little band of love,
We, sinners saved by grace,
From glory into glory chang'd,
Behold thy lovely face.
A Saviour, &c.
