[So lately to each other known]

They all brought us on our way, with wives, &c. —xxi. 5.

So lately to each other known,
What is it draws and makes them one
By dearest ties allied?
What is it binds the saints above
In everlasting bonds? the love
Of Jesus crucified.
Men the Divine attraction feel,
Women with joy unspeakable
The' uniting grace obtain;
Their children too with heart sincere
Cleave to a parting minister,
And all his blessings gain.
