Hymn 31 Part 2

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 93 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 3:3 First Line: O happy soul that lives on high Lyrics: O happy soul that lives on high While men lie grov'lling here His hopes are fixed above the sky, And faith forbids his fear. His conscience knows no secret stings, While peace and joy combine To form a life whose holy springs Are hidden and divine. He waits in secret on his God, His God in secret sees; Let earth be all in arms abroad, He dwells in heav'nly peace. His pleasures rise from things unseen, Beyond this world and time; Where neither eyes nor ears have been, Nor thoughts of sinners climb. He wants no pomp nor royal throne To raise his figure here; Content and pleased to live unknown, Till Christ, his life, appear. He looks to heav'n's eternal hill To meet that glorious day; But patient waits his Savior's will To fetch his soul away.

The love that made us, makes us one, and strangers now are friends, and strangers now are friends. 4 The Spirit of the risen Christ, unseen, but ever near, is in such friendship better known, alive among us here, alive among us here. 5 Together met, together bound by all that God has done, we’ll go with joy, to give the world the love that makes us one, the love that makes us one.
