Striving together for the faith, etc.
Phil. 1:27.
Lord, cause thy face on us to shine;
Give us thy peace, and seal us thine;
Teach us to prize the means of grace,
And love thine earthly dwelling-place,
One is our faith, and one our Lord;
One body, spirit, hope, reward:
May we in one communion be,
One with each other, one with thee.
2 Bless all whose voice salvation brings,
Who minister in holy things;
Our pastors, rulers, deacons, bless;
Clothe them with zeal and righteousness:
Let many in the judgment day,
Turned from the error of their way,
Their hope, their joy, their crown, appear:
Save those who preach, and those who hear.
