CHURCH MEETINGS.
They humbly follow Christ, the Lamb,
In righteousness and zeal.
5 Their tootsteps I’ll pursue
With vigor till I die,
Rejoicing in the pleasing view
Of meeting them on high.
<8 It is a sweet employ
To join in worship here ;
But how divine will be the joy
To see each other there.

Christian fellowship,
1 DLEST be the tie that binds
D Our hearts in Christian love-,
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.
2 Before our Father’s throne
We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are
Our comforts and our cares.
3 We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear,
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
4 When we asunder part,
It gives us inward pain ;
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again.
5 This glorious hope revives
Our courage by the way,
White each in expectation lives,
And longs to see the day.
