Communion in Christ.
How pleasing to behold and see
The friends of Jesus all agree—
To sit around the sacred board
As members of one common Lord.
2 Here we behold the dawn of bliss—
Here we behold the Saviour’s grace—
Here we behold his precious blood,
Which sweetly pleads for us with God.
3 While here we sit, we would implore
That love may spread from shore to shore,
Till all the saints, like us, combine
To praise the Lord in songs divine.
4 To all we freely give our hand,
Who love the Lord in every land;
For all are one in Christ our head,
To whom be endless honors paid.
Dobell.
