Author: Alexander Campbell Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #401 (1995) First Line: You, my beloved, once an alien Lyrics: You, my beloved, once an alien, are now a citizen of heaven: once a stranger, are now brought home to the family of God. You have owned my Lord as your Lord, my people as your people.
Under Jesus the Messiah we are one. Mutually embraced in the everlasting arms, I embrace you in mine: your sorrows shall be my sorrows, and your joys my joys.
Joint debtors to the favor of God and the love of Jesus, we shall jointly suffer with him, that we may jointly reign with him.
Let us, then, renew our strength, remember our Sovereign, and hold fast our boasted hope unshaken to the end. Topics: The Church at Worship The Lord's Supper; God's Church The Church at Worship: The Lord's Supper; Lord's Supper Languages: English
