[Was it not Thy kind design]

He shewed himself unto them as they strove, &c. —vii. 26.

Was it not Thy kind design
To make our discord cease,
God with man to' unite, and join
Thy church in lasting peace?
Answering Thy benign intent
Come in Thy Spirit from above;
All Thy people, Lord, cement
In pure fraternal love.
