CHURCH MEETINGS.
             2  'Tis wrought by Jesus’ skillful hand,
                 And tinged in his own blood ;
               It makes the Christian gazing stand
                  To view this robe of God.
             3  No art of man can weave this robe,
                  ’Tis of such texture fine;
                Nor could the wealth of all this globe
                  By purchase make it mine.
              4  ’Tis of one piece, and wove throughout ;
                  So curious wove that none
                Can dress up in this seamless coat,
                  Till Jesus puts it on.
              5  This vesture never waxes old,
                  No spot thereon can fall;
                It makes the Christian brisk and bold
                  And dutiful withal.
              6  This robe put on me, Lord, each day,
                  And it shall hide my shame ;
                Shall make me fight, and sing, and pray
                  And bless my Captain’s name.

                      Come in thou blessed of the lord.

                    And join his children here;
