396. S. M. Beddome. Christian Unity. 1 Let party names no more The Christian world o'erspread; Gentile and Jew, and bond and free, Are one in Christ their head. 2 Among the saints on earth Let mutual love be found; Heirs of the same inheritance, With mutual blessings crowned. 3 Let envy and ill-will Be banished far away; Those should in holy friendship dwell, Who the same Lord obey. 4 Thus will the church below Resemble that above; Where streams of pleasure always flow, And every heart is love.
