Commendatory of Christian Union. |
911. L. M. Ancient Hymns. Commendatory of Christian Union. 1 Blest with unearthly bliss were they Who saw the church's infant day, And strove their Christian part to bear, By sign and spirit joined with her. 2 The truth, which Christ's apostles taught, Then ruled each faithful convert's thought; Each aimed in unity to keep Unrent th' apostles' fellowship. 3 The bread, with rites harmonious broke, The union of all hearts bespoke; And prayer, with lips united prayed, The union of all minds displayed. 4 O thus that Christians still would live, And thus delightful witness give, How well the debt of love they know, To Christ and to his church they owe!
