Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 46 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience; Communion Of Saints; Christian Friendship; Love to Christian brethren; Peace Among Brethren; Sympathy Of Christians; Union with each other Lyrics: 1 Lo, what a pleasing sight Are brethren that agree! How blest are all whose hearts unite In bonds of piety. 2 From those celestial springs, Such streams of comfort flow, As no increase of riches brings, Nor honors can bestow. 3 All in their stations move, And each performs his part, In all the cares of life and love, With sympathizing heart. 4 Form'd for the purest joys, By one desire possest, One aim the zeal of all employs, To make each other blest. 5 No bliss can equal theirs, Where such affections meet; While praise devout, and mingled prayers Make their communion sweet. 6 'Tis the same pleasure fills The breast in worlds above, Where joy, like morning-dew, distils, And all the air is love.

E'er the blue Heav'ns were stretch'd abroad

Appears in 98 hymnals Topics: Communion with Christ and Saints Lyrics: 1 E'er the blue Heav'ns were stretch'd abroad, From Everlasting was the Word; With God he was; the Word was God, And must divinely be ador'd. 2 By his own Pow'r were all Things made; By him supported all Things stand; He is the whole Creation's Head, And Angels fly at his Command. 3 E'er Sin was born, or Satan fell, He led the Host of Morning-Stars; (Thy Generation who can tell, Or count the Numbers of thy Years?) 4 But lo, he leaves those Heav'nly Forms, The Word descends and dwells in Clay, That he may hold Converse with Worms, Drest in such feeble Flesh as they. 5 Mortals with Joy beheld his Face, Th' Eternal Father's only Son; How full of Truth! how full of Grace! When thro' his Eyes the Godhead shone! 6 Arch-Angels leave their high Abode, To learn new Myst'ries here, and tell The Loves of our descending God, The Glories of EMANUEL. Scripture: John 1:1

Thou, whom my Soul admires above

Appears in 92 hymnals Topics: Christ Communion with Him and Saints Lyrics: 1 Thou, whom my Soul admires above All earthly joy, and earthly Love, Tell me, dear Shepherd, let me know Where doth thy sweetest Pasture grow? 2 Where is the Shadow of that Rock, That from the Sun defends thy Flock? Fain would I feed among thy Sheep, Among them rest, among them sleep. 3 Why should thy Bride appear like one That turns aside to Paths unknown? My constant Feet would never rove, Would never seek another Love. [4 The Footsteps of thy Flock I see; Thy sweetest Pastures here they be; A wond'rous Feast thy Love prepares, Bought with thy Wounds, & Groans & Tears. 5 His dearest Flesh he makes my Food, And bids me drink his richest Blood: Here to these Hills my Soul will come, Till my Beloved lead me home. Scripture: Song of Solomon 1:7

When Strangers stand and hear me tell

Appears in 68 hymnals Topics: Christ Communion with Him and Saints Lyrics: 1 When Strangers stand and hear me tell What Beauties in my Saviour dwell; Where he is gone they fain would know, That they may seek and love him too. 2 My best Beloved keeps his Throne On Hills of Light, in Worlds unknown; But he descends, and shows his Face In the young Gardens of his Grace. [3 In Vineyards planted by his Hand, Where fruitful Trees in Order stand; He feeds among the spicy Beds, Where Lilies show their spotless Heads. 4 He has engross'd my warmest Love, No earthly Charms my Soul can move: I have a Mansion in his Heart, Nor Death nor Hell shall make us part.] 5 He takes my Soul e'er I'm aware, And shews me where his Glories are, No Chariot of Amminadab The heav'nly Rapture can describe. [6 O may my Spirit daily rise On Wings of Faith above the Skies, Till Eeath shall make my last Remove, To dwell for ever with my Love. Scripture: Song of Solomon 6:1-3

Jesus invites his Saints

Appears in 245 hymnals Topics: Communion with Christ and with Saints Lyrics: 1 Jesus invites his Saints To meet around his Board; Here pardon'd Rebels sit and hold Communion with their Lord. 2 For Food he gives his Flesh; He bids us drink his Blood; Amazing Favour! matchless Grace Of our descending God! 3 This holy Bread and Wine Maintains our fainting Breath, By Union with our living Lord, And Int'rest in his Death. 4 Our heav'nly Father calls Christ and his Members one; We the young Children of his Love, And he the first born Son. 5 We are but several Parts Of the same broken Bread; One Body hath its sev'ral Limbs, But Jesus is the Head. 6 Let all our Pow'rs be join'd His glorious Name to raise; Pleasure and Love fill ev'ry Mind, And ev'ry Voice be Praise.
