CCXLI. THE SAME. INVITATION TO OUR ABSENT FRIENDS.
Hymn 51.
Ye followers of the bleeding Lamb,
Before your Lord appear,
On you we call in Jesus' name
Be all in spirit here.
Before your Lord appear,
On you we call in Jesus' name
Be all in spirit here.
Jesus with us assembled is,
Him in the midst we feel,
Come share with us the glorious bliss,
The joy unspeakable.
Him in the midst we feel,
Come share with us the glorious bliss,
The joy unspeakable.
Come all the members far and near,
Whoe'er to Christ are join'd,
Jesus our common Head is here,
We cannot stay behind.
Whoe'er to Christ are join'd,
Jesus our common Head is here,
We cannot stay behind.
The body with the Head is nigh:
Let every faithful soul,
Let every joint its strength supply
To edify the whole.
Let every faithful soul,
Let every joint its strength supply
To edify the whole.
'Tis done: through faith our hands we join,
In Jesu's love we meet,
And clothed with righteousness Divine
The body is complete.
In Jesu's love we meet,
And clothed with righteousness Divine
The body is complete.
Then let us all at once aspire,
Our common Saviour praise,
And higher raise our hearts, and higher,
In honour of His grace:
Our common Saviour praise,
And higher raise our hearts, and higher,
In honour of His grace:
473
His grace which hath salvation brought,
And raised us from our fall,
His grace which came to us unsought,
And comes unsought to all.
And raised us from our fall,
His grace which came to us unsought,
And comes unsought to all.
God of all grace, Thy saving name
We thankfully confess;
Let all the world adore the Lamb,
The general Blessing bless.
We thankfully confess;
Let all the world adore the Lamb,
The general Blessing bless.
Ye that in strength Divine excel,
Ye first-born church above,
Adore the depth unsearchable
Of all-redeeming love.
Ye first-born church above,
Adore the depth unsearchable
Of all-redeeming love.
Till we like you behold His face,
Angels, on you we call,
For ever, and for ever praise,
The Lamb, that died for all.
Angels, on you we call,
For ever, and for ever praise,
The Lamb, that died for all.
