Members on our Head depending, lights reflecting Him, our Sun, Christians, His commands attending, we in Him, our Lord, are one. 2 Come then, come, O flock of Jesus, covenant with Him anew; unto Him who conquered for us, pledge we love and service true; and should our love’s union holy firmly linked no more remain, wait ye at His footstool lowly, till He draw it close again. 3 Grant, Lord, that with Thy direction "Love each other," we comply. Aiming with unfeigned affection Thy love to exemplify, let our mutual love be glowing, so that all will plainly see that we, as on one stem growing, living branches are in Thee. 4 O that such may be our union as Thine with the Father is, and not one of our communion e’er forsake the path of bliss; may our light shine forth with brightness, from Thy light reflected, shine; thus the world will bear us witness, that we, Lord, are truly Thine.
