It cannot freely move till you have wrought its chain; enslave it with your matchless love, and deathless it shall reign. Scripture: Matthew 16:24-26 Used With Tune: LEOMINSTER

Such our whole employment be, Works of faith and charity; Works of love on man bestowed, Secret intercourse with God. 3 Early in the temple met, Let us still our Saviour greet; Nightly to the mount repair, Join our praying Pattern there. There by wrestling faith obtain Power to work for God again, Power His image to retrieve, Power, like Thee, our Lord, to live. 4 Vessels, instruments of grace, Pass we thus our happy days 'Twixt the mount and multitude. Doing or receiving good; Glad to pray and labour on, Till our earthly course is run, Till, our sufferings ended, we Bow the head and die like Thee. Used With Tune: TICHFIELD
