Hymn 587
Brethren in Christ, and well beloved
- Brethren in Christ, and well beloved.
To Jesus and His servants dear,
Enter and show yourselves approved;
Enter and find that God is here.
- Welcome from earth: lo, the right hand
Of fellowship to you we give!
With open hearts and hands we stand.
And you in Jesus' name receive.
- Say, are your hearts resolved as ours?
Then let them burn with sacred love;
Then let them taste the heavenly powers.
Partakers of the joys above.
- Thou God that answerest by fire,
The burning Spirit now impart;
And let the flames of pure desire
Rise from the altar of our heart.
- In part we only know Thee here,
But wait Thy coming from above:
And we shall then behold Thee near.
And we shall all be lost in love.
Christly Living
