6 With grace abundantly endu’d, A pure, believing multitude; They all were of one heart and soul, And only love inspir’d the whole. 7 O what an age of golden days! O what a choice, peculiar race! Wash’d in the Lamb’s all-cleansing blood, Anointed kings, and priests to God. 8 Where shall I wander now to find The successors they left behind? The faithful, whom I seek in vain, Are minish’d from the sons of men. 9 Ye different sects, who all declare, Lo! here is Christ, or Christ is there! Your stronger proofs divinely give, And shew me where the Christians live. 10 Your claim, alas! ye cannot prove, Ye want the genuine mark of love: Thou only, Lord, thine own canst shew, For sure thou hast a church below. 11 The gates of hell cannot prevail, The church on earth can never fail: Ah! join me to thy secret ones, Ah! gather all thy living stones. 12 Scatter’d o’er all the earth they lie, ’Till Thou collect them with thine eye, Draw by the music of thy name, And charm into a beauteous frame. 13 For this the pleading Spirit groans, And cries in all thy banish’d ones: Greatest of gifts, thy love impart, And make us of one mind and heart. 14 Join every soul that looks to thee, In bonds of perfect charity: Now, Lord, the glorious fulness give, And all in all for ever live. PART II. 1 JESUS, from whom all blessings flow, Great builder of thy church below, If now thy spirit moves my breast, Hear, and fulfil thy own request. 2 The few that truly call thee Lord, And wait thy sanctifying word; And thee their utmost Saviour own, Unite, and perfect them in one. 3 Gather them in on every side, And in thy tabernacle hide; Give them a resting place to find, A covert from the storm and wind. 4 O find them out some calm recess, Some unfrequented wilderness! Thou, Lord, the secret place prepare, And hide and feed _the woman_ there. 5 Thither collect thy little flock, Under the shadow of their rock: The holy seed, the royal race, The standing monuments of thy grace? 6 O let them all thy mind express, Stand forth thy chosen witnesses! Thy power unto salvation shew, And perfect holiness below.
