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 God, 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 God 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 God on high, Who sends his blessings down To rescue souls condemned to die, And make his people one. 920. C. M. Ancient Hymns. Social Evening Worship. 1 O, 'Tis a scene the heart to move, When, at the close of day, Whom God unites in Christian love Unite their thanks to pay. 2 What though the number be but small; Whenever two or three Join on the Saviour's name to call, There in the midst is he. 3 When faithful and repentant hearts His heavenly grace ensue, His grace, intreated, he imparts To many or to few. 4 O, come, then, and, with joint accord, In social worship meet; And, mindful of the Saviour's word, The Saviour's boon intreat. 921. 7s. M. Newton. Parting Hymn. 1 For a season called to part, Let us then ourselves commend To the gracious eye and heart Of our ever-present Friend. 2 Father, hear our humble prayer! Tender shepherd of thy sheep, Let thy mercy and thy care All our souls in safety keep. 3 In thy strength may we be strong; Sweeten every cross and pain; Give us, if we live, ere long, Here to meet in peace again. 922. C. M. Methodist Coll. The Same. 1 Through thee we now together came, In singleness of heart; We met, O, Jesus, in thy name, And in thy name we part.
