Lyics

Jesus, the Friend of man,

Invites us to his board;

The welcome summons we obey,

And own our gracious Lord.



Here we survey that love

Which spoke in every breath,

Prompted each action of his life,

And triumphed in his death.



Here let our powers u****

His honored name to raise;

Let grateful joy fill every mind,

And every voice be praise.



On faith, one hope, one Lord,

One God alone we know;

Brethren we are; let every heart

With kind affections glow.
