Text: | Love to the Brethren |
Author: | Beddome |
1 Let party strife no more
The christian world o'erspread;
Gentile and Jew, and bond and free,
Are one in Christ their head.
2 Among the saints on earth,
Let mutual love be found;
Heirs of the same inheritance,
With mutual blessings crown'd.
3 Let envy, child of hell!
Be banish'd far away;
Those should in strictest friendship dwell,
Who the same Lord obey.
4 Thus will the church below
Resemble that above,
Where streams of pleasure ever flow,
And every heart is love.
