[The love impartial and sincere]

By this shall all men know that ye are, &c. —xiii. 35.

The love impartial and sincere
The' inimitable character
On genuine saints impress'd
O that I in myself could find,
Endued with my Redeemer's mind,
With His affection bless'd!
Enlarged beyond the narrow space
Of those that their own sect embrace,
And none besides approve,
I would to liberty restored
Love all the lovers of my Lord,
And all who seek His love.
Jesus the gospel-grace impart
To mine and every longing heart!
Take us into Thy fold,

512

The truth of pure religion give,
That all who bear Thy name may live,
And love like those of old.
The mark on every face impress,
That like Thy first-born witnesses
We hand in hand may move:
And ready each for each to die,
Constrain the world for each to cry,
“See how these Christians live!”
