Chapin, E. H. (Edwin Hubbell)
Hymns, English; Universalist churches -- Hymns
4 While we love the Saviour's name,
And his words with zeal obey,
His sweet promise we may claim;--
"He will meet us when we pray."
905. 7s. M. Methodist Coll.
Call to Social Worship.
1 Let us join, as God commands,
Let us join our hearts and hands,
Help to gain our calling's hope;
Help to build each other up;
Carry on the Christian's strife;
Walk in holiness of life;
Faithfully our gifts improve
For the sake of him we love;--
2 Still forget the things behind;
Follow Christ in heart and mind;
Toward the mark unwearied press;
Seize the crown of righteousness,
While we walk with God in light,
God our hearts will still unite;
Dearest fellowship we prove--
Fellowship in Jesus, love.
3 Still, O Lord, our faith increase;
Cleanse from all unrighteousness:
Thee th' unholy cannot see:
Make, O make us meet for thee:
Every vile affection kill;
Root out every seed of ill;
Utterly abolish sin;
Write thy law of love within.
906. C. M. Ancient Hymns.
Call to Social Worship.
1 O, come, and let th' assembly all
To serve our God unite,
And, mindful of the social call,
Partake the social rite.
2 In token of the common vow,
Be ours, with one consent,
The worship of the lowly brow,
And knees devoutly bent!
3 But chief, inflamed with heavenly fire,
Devotion's better part,
Be ours instinct with one desire,
The worship of the heart!
4 Let each, let all, their prayers above,
In one oblation bend,
And God, the God of peace and love,
On all, on each descend!
907. C. M. Methodist Coll.
Call to Worship.
1 Father, united by thy grace,
And each to each endeared
With confidence we seek thy face,
And know our prayer is heard.
2 Still let us own our common Lord,
And bear his easy yoke,
A band of love, a three-fold cord
Which never can be broke.
3 Make us into one spirit drink;
Baptize into one name;
And let us always kindly think,
And sweetly speak the same.
4 Touched by the loadstone of thy love,
Let all our hearts agree;
And ever towards each other move,
And ever move towards thee.
908. 7s. M. Wesley's Coll.
For Brotherly Love.
1 God of love, we look to thee;
Let us in thy Son agree;
Show to us the Prince of Peace;
Bid our jars forever cease.
By thy reconciling love,
Every stumbling-block remove;
Each to each unite, endear;
Come, and spread thy banner here.
2 Make us of one heart and mind,
Courteous, pitiful, and kind;
Lowly, meek, in thought and word,
Altogether like our Lord.
Let us for each other care;
Each the other's burden bear;
To thy church the pattern give;
Show how true believers live.
