Kindred in Christ, for his dear sake

Author: Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 215 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Kindred in Christ, for his dear sake, A hearty welcome here receive; May we together now partake The joys which only he can give. 2 May he, by those kind care we meet, Send his good Spirit from above, Make our communications sweet, And cause our hearts to burn with love. 3 Forgotten be each worldly theme, When Christians see each other thus; We only wish to speak of him Who lived, and died, and reigns for us. 4 We'll talk of all he did and said, And suffered for us here below; The path he marked for us to tread, And what he's doing for us now. 5 Thus, as the moments pass away, We'll love, and wonder, and adore; And hasten on the glorious day When we shall meet to part no more.

Lest the great glory from on high

Author: Alice Cary Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Lest the great glory from on high Should make our senses swim, Our blessed Lord hath spread the sky Between ourselves and him. 2 He made the Sabbath shine before The workdays and the care, And set about its golden door The messengers of prayer. 3 He nearest comes when most his face Is wrapped in clouds of gloom; The firmest pillars of his grace Are planted in the tomb. 4 Oh, shall we not the power of sin And vanity withstand, When thus our Father holds us in The hollow of his hand?
