Move, and actuate, and guide; Divers gifts to each divide: Placed according to thy will, Let us all our work fulfil;
3 Sweetly may we all agree, Touched with softest sympathy; Kindly for each other care; Every member feel its share.
Love, like death, hath all destroyed, Rendered our distinctions void!
Names, and sects, and parties fall: Thou, O G.o.d, art all in all!
914. C. M. Milton.
The Blessedness of the Devout.
1 How lovely are thy dwellings, Lord, From noise and trouble free; How beautiful the sweet accord Of souls that pray to thee.
2 Lord G.o.d of hosts, that reign'st on high, They are the truly blest, Who only will on thee rely, In thee alone will rest.
3 They pa.s.s refreshed the thirsty vale, The dry and barren ground, As through a fruitful, watery dale, Where springs and showers abound.
4 They journey on from strength to strength, With joy and gladsome cheer, Till all before our G.o.d at length.
In Zion do appear.
5 For G.o.d, the Lord, both sun and shield, Gives grace and glory bright; No good from him shall be withheld Whose ways are just and right.
915. C. M. Wesley's Coll.
For Mutual Edification.
1 Help us to help each other, Lord, Each other's cross to bear!
Let each his friendly aid afford, And feel his brother's care.
2 Help us to build each other up; Our little stock improve; Increase our faith, confirm our hope, And perfect us in love.
3 Up into thee, our living Head, Let us in all things grow, Till thou hast made us free indeed, And spotless here below.
916. 7s. M. Methodist Coll.
Invocation.
1 Father, at thy footstool see Those who now are one in thee: Draw us by thy grace alone; Give, O give us to thy Son.
2 Jesus, friend of human kind, Let us in thy name be joined; Each to each unite and bless; Keep us still in perfect peace.
3 Heavenly, all-alluring Dove, Shed thy overshadowing love; Love, the sealing grace impart; Dwell within our single heart.
917. C. M. Anonymous.
The Love of the Brethren.
1 A holy air is breathing round, A savor from above; Be every soul from sense unbound, Be every spirit love.
2 O G.o.d, unite us heart to heart, In sympathy divine, That we be never drawn apart, And love nor thee nor thine.
3 But, by the cross of Jesus taught, And all thy gracious word, Be nearer to each other brought, And nearer to our Lord.
918. C. M. Watts.
Christian Union.
1 Lo! what an entertaining sight Those friendly brethren prove, Whose cheerful hearts in bands unite Of harmony and love!
2 Where streams of bliss from Christ, the spring, Descend to every soul, And heavenly peace, with balmy wing, Shades and bedews the whole.
3 'Tis pleasant as the morning dews That fall on Zion's hill, Where G.o.d his mildest glory shows, And makes his grace distil.
919. S. M. Sacred Lyrics.
Morning Prayer Meeting.
1 How sweet the melting lay, Which breaks upon the ear, When, at the hour of rising day, Christians unite in prayer!
2 The breezes waft their cries Up to Jehovah's throne; He listens to their humble sighs, And sends his blessings down.
3 So Jesus rose to pray Before the morning light,-- Once on the chilling mount did stay, And wrestle all the night.
4 Glory to G.o.d on high, Who sends his blessings down To rescue souls condemned to die, And make his people one.
