Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Hymnal: Together in Song #442a (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 Lyrics: 1 All praise to our redeeming Lord,
who joins us by his grace,
and bids us, each to each restored,
together seek his face.
2 He bids us build each other up;
and gathered into one,
to our high calling’s glorious hope,
we hand in hand go on.
3 The gift which he on one bestows
we all delight to prove;
the grace through every vessel flows,
in purest streams of love.
4 Even now we think and speak the same,
and cordially agree;
concentered all, through Jesus’ name,
in perfect harmony.
5 We all partake the joy of one,
the common peace we feel,
a peace to sensual minds unknown,
a joy unspeakable.
6 And if our fellowship below
in Jesus be so sweet,
What height of rapture shall we know
When round his throne we meet. Topics: Christian Community; Grace; Ministry of God's People; Nurturing God's People; People of God; Unity of the Church Languages: English Tune Title: NEWINGTON
