CHURCH MEETINGS.
6 From sorrow, toil and pain,
And sin, we shall be free,
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity.
197 C. M.
Praying for each other.
1 TESUS united by thy grace,
And each to each endeared,
We humbly come to seek thy face—
O may our prayer be heard !
2 Still let us own our common Lord
And bear the easy yoke,
A band of love—a threefold cord,
Which never can be broke.
3 Touched by the loadstone of thy love,
Let all our hearts agree:
And ever to each other move,
And ever move to thee.
4 Help us to help each other, Lord,
Each other’s cross to bear ;
Let each his friendly aid afford,
And feel his brother’s care.
■5 Help us to build each other up,
Our talent, Lord, t’ improve;
Increase our faith, confirm our hope,
And perfect us in love.
6 Then when our work on earth is done.
Receive thy ready bride ;
Give us in heaven a happy lot,
With all the sanctified.
