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' enlarg'd desire.
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.
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 thee, Lord!
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 sav'd by grace,
From glory unto glory chang'd,
Behold thy lovely face.
CHORUS.
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're joining them who're gone before,
We soon shall meet to part no more.
