Hymn 16.
[Author of the peace unknown]
Author of the peace unknown,
Lover of my friend and me,
Who of twain hast made us one,
One preserve us still in Thee,
All our heighten'd blessings bless,
Crown our hopes with full success.
Lover of my friend and me,
Who of twain hast made us one,
One preserve us still in Thee,
All our heighten'd blessings bless,
Crown our hopes with full success.
Centre of our hopes Thou art,
End of our enlarged desires:
Stamp Thine image on our heart,
Fill us now with holy fires,
Cemented by love Divine,
Seal our souls for ever Thine.
End of our enlarged desires:
Stamp Thine image on our heart,
Fill us now with holy fires,
Cemented by love Divine,
Seal our souls for ever Thine.
All our works in Thee be wrought,
Levell'd at one common aim,
Every word, and every thought
Purge in the refining flame,
Lead us through the paths of peace
On to perfect holiness.
Levell'd at one common aim,
Every word, and every thought
Purge in the refining flame,
Lead us through the paths of peace
On to perfect holiness.
Let us both together rise,
To Thy glorious life restored,
Here regain our paradise,
Here prepare to meet our Lord.
Here enjoy the earnest given,
Travel hand in hand to heaven.
To Thy glorious life restored,
Here regain our paradise,
Here prepare to meet our Lord.
