52. C. M. Montgomery.

Mutual Invitation.

1Come, let us join our souls to God

In everlasting bands,

And seize the blessings he bestows

With eager hearts and hands.

2Come, let us to his temple haste,

And seek his favor there,

Before his footstool humbly bow,

And offer fervent prayer.

3Come, let us share, without delay,

The blessings of his grace;

Nor shall the years of distant life

Their mem'ry e'er efface.

4O, may our children ever haste

To seek their fathers' God,

Nor e'er forsake the happy path

Their fathers' feet have trod.
