Author:Charles Wesley, 1707-1788
Tune:DUNFERMLINE

489. Help us to help each other, Lord

1 Help us to help each other, Lord,
each other's cross to share;
let each our friendly aid afford
and feel each other's care.

2 Up into thee, our living Head,
let us in all things grow,
and by thy sacrifice be led
the fruits of love to show.

3 Drawn by the magnet of thy love
let all our hearts agree,
and ever to each other move,
and ever nearer thee.

4 This is the bond of perfectness,
thy spotless charity.
Oh let us still, we pray, possess
the mind that was in thee.
