O God of Mercy, God of Might

Author: Godfrey Thring Meter: 8.8.8.6 Appears in 106 hymnals Topics: Christian Friendship Lyrics: 1 O God of mercy, God of might, in love and pity infinite, teach us, as ever in thy sight, to live our life to thee. 2 And thou who cam'st on earth to die, that fallen man might live thereby, O hear us, for to thee we cry in hope, O Lord, to thee. 3 Teach us the lesson thou hast taught, to feel for those thy blood hath bought; that every word and deed and thought may work a work for thee. 4 For they are brethren, far and wide, since thou, O Lord, for them hast died; then teach us, whatsoe'er betide, to love them all in thee. 5 In sickness, sorrow, want, or care, whate'er it be, 'tis ours to share; may we, when help is needed, there give help as unto thee.

Blest Be the Tie That Binds

Author: John Fawcett Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2,345 hymnals Topics: Christian Friendship Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love: the fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above. 2 Before the Father's throne we pour our ardent prayers; our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, our comforts and our cares. 3 We share our mutual woes, our mutual burdens bear, and often for each other flows the sympathizing tear. 4 When we asunder part, it gives us inward pain; but we shall still be joined in heart, and hope to meet again. 5 This glorious hope revives our courage by the way, while each in expectation lives, and longs to see the day. 6 From sorrow, toil and pain, and sin, we shall be free; and perfect love and friendship reign through all eternity. Scripture: Galatians 3:28 Used With Tune: DENNIS
