REJOICING.
9 Then shall I see my blessed God,
And praise him in his bright abode ;
My theme to all eternity
Shall glory, glory, glory be.

Christian love expanding.
1 f~AUR souls by love together knit,
Cemented, mixed in one ;
One hope, one heart, one mind, one voice*,
’Tis heaven on earth begun.
2 Our hearts have burned while Jesus spake
And glowed with sacred fire;
He stopped, and talked, and fed, and blessed,
And filled th’ enlarged desire.
3 We’re soldiers fighting for our God,
L,et trembling cowards fly ;
We stand unshaken, firm and fixed,
With Christ to live or die.
4 Let devils rage and hell assail,
We’ll cut our passage through ;
Though foes unite and riends all fail,
We’ll seize the crown we view.
5 And when thou mak’st thy jewels up,
And sett’st thy starry crown,
Where all thy sparkling gems shall shine
Proclaimed by thee thy own :
6 May we, a little band of love,
Be sinners saved by grace ;
For glory into glory changed,
Behold thee face to face.
