How Beautiful the Sight
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 68 hymnals Topics: Christian Friendship Lyrics: 1 How beautiful the sight
of brethren who agree
in friendship to unite,
and bonds of charity;
'tis like the precious ointment, shed
o'er all his robes, from Aaron's head.
2 'Tis like the dew that fills
the cups of Hermon's flow'rs;
or Zion's fruitful hill,
bright with the drops of show'rs,
when mingling odors breathe around,
and glory rests on all the ground.
3 For there the Lord commands
blessings, a boundless store,
from his unsparing hands,
yea, life for evermore:
thrice happy they who meet above
to spend eternity in love!
Scripture: Psalm 133 Used With Tune: ST. GODRIC

Blest Be the Tie That Binds
Author: John Fawcett Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2,273 hymnals Topics: Christian Friendship Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds
our hearts in Christian love:
the fellowship of kindred minds
is like to that above.
2 Before the Father's throne
we pour our ardent prayers;
our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
our comforts and our cares.
3 We share our mutual woes,
our mutual burdens bear,
and often for each other flows
the sympathizing tear.
4 When we asunder part,
it gives us inward pain;
but we shall still be joined in heart,
and hope to meet again.
5 This glorious hope revives
our courage by the way,
while each in expectation lives,
and longs to see the day.
6 From sorrow, toil and pain,
and sin, we shall be free;
and perfect love and friendship reign
through all eternity.
Scripture: Galatians 3:28 Used With Tune: DENNIS

and they that walk in love shall share

What a Friend We Have in Jesus
O God of Mercy, God of Might
Author: Godfrey Thring Meter: 8.8.8.6 Appears in 105 hymnals Topics: Christian Friendship Lyrics: 1 O God of mercy, God of might,
in love and pity infinite,
teach us, as ever in thy sight,
to live our life to thee.
2 And thou who cam'st on earth to die,
that fallen man might live thereby,
O hear us, for to thee we cry
in hope, O Lord, to thee.
3 Teach us the lesson thou hast taught,
to feel for those thy blood hath bought;
that every word and deed and thought
may work a work for thee.
4 For they are brethren, far and wide,
since thou, O Lord, for them hast died;
then teach us, whatsoe'er betide,
to love them all in thee.
5 In sickness, sorrow, want, or care,
whate'er it be, 'tis ours to share;
may we, when help is needed, there
give help as unto thee.
Scripture: Matthew 25:40 Used With Tune: ELMHURST
O God of Mercy, God of Might
O God, Thou faithful God
Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 61 hymnals Topics: Friendship; Holiness; Christian Joy; The Christian Life; Prayer General Petition; Sickness, Death, and Burial; Christian Work Lyrics: 1 O God, Thou faithful God,
Thou Fountain ever-flowing,
Without whom nothing is,
All perfect gifts bestowing;
A pure and healthy frame
O give me, and within
A conscience free from blame,
A soul unhurt by sin.
2 And grant me, Lord, to do,
With ready heart and willing,
Whate'er Thou shalt command,
My calling here fulfilling,
To do it when I ought,
With all my strength, and bless
The work I thus have wrought,
For Thou must give success.
3 And let me promise naught
But I can keep it truly,
Abstain from idle words,
And guard my lips e'er duly;
And grant, when in my place
I must and ought to speak,
My words due power and grace,
Nor let me wound the weak.
4 If dangers gather round,
Still keep me calm and fearless;
Help me to bear the cross,
When life is dark and cheerless;
To overcome my foe
With words and actions kind;
When counsel I would know,
Good counsel let me find.
5 And let me be with all
In peace and friendship living,
As far as Christians may;
And if Thou aught art giving
Of wealth and honors fair,
O this refuse me not,
That naught be mingled there
Of goods unjustly got.
6 And if a longer life
Be here on earth decreed me,
And Thou through many a strife
To ripe old age wilt lead me,
Thy patience in me shed,
Avert all sin and shame,
And crown my hoary head
With pure, untarnished fame.
7 Let nothing here on earth
Me from my Saviour sever;
And when I die, O take
My soul to Thee forever;
And let my body have
A little space to sleep
Beside my kindred's grave,
And o'er it vigil keep.
8 And when the Day is come,
And all the dead are waking,
O reach me down Thy hand,
Thyself my slumbers breaking;
Then let me hear Thy voice,
And change this earthly frame,
And bid me aye rejoice
With those who love Thy name.
