Free, though in chains, the mountains stand
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #154 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics:
Free, though in chains, the mountains stand,
The valleys link'd run through the land;
In fellowship the forests thrive,
And streams from streams their strength derive.
The cattle graze in flocks and herds,
In choirs and concerts sing the birds;
Insects by millions ply the wing,
And flowers in peaceful armies spring.
All nature is society,
All nature's voices harmony,
All colours blend to form pure light,--
Why then should Christians not unite?
Thus to the Father pray'd the Son,
"One may they be as We are one,
158
That I in them, and Thou in me,
They one with Us may ever be."
Children of God! combine your bands;
Brethren in Christ! join hearts and hands,
And pray,--for so the Father will'd,
That the Son's prayer may be fulfill'd:--
Fulfill'd in you, fulfill'd in all,
That on the name of Jesus call,
And every covenant of love
They bind on earth be bound above.
