Brethren in Christ, and Well Beloved
"They gave the right hands of fellowship." - Gal 2:9
VERSE 1
Brethren in Christ, and well beloved,
To Jesus and His servants dear,
Enter and show yourselves approved;
Enter and find that God is here.
VERSE 2
Welcome from earth: lo, the right hand
Of fellowship to you we give!
With open hearts and hands we stand,
And you in Jesus' name receive.
VERSE 3
Say, are your hearts resolved as ours?
Then let them burn with sacred love;
Then let them taste the heavenly powers,
Partakers of the joys above.
VERSE 4
Thou God that answerest by fire,
The burning Spirit now impart;
And let the flames of pure desire
Rise from the altar of our heart.
VERSE 5
In part we only know Thee here,
But wait Thy coming from above:
And we shall then behold Thee near,
And we shall all be lost in love.
