Blest be the tie that binds

Author: Fawcett Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #504 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Church Fellowship Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love: The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above. 2 Before our Father's throne We pour our ardent prayers; Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, Our comforts and our cares. 3 We share our mutual woes, Our mutual burdens bear; And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear. 4 When we asunder part, It gives us inward pain; But we shall still be joined in heart, And hope to meet again. 5 This glorious hope revives Our courage by the way; While each in expectation lives, And longs to see the day. 6 From sorrow, toil, and pain, And sin, we shall be free; And perfect love and friendship reign Through all eternity. Scripture: Psalm 133:1

Author: S. F. Smith Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #488 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Church Constitution Lyrics: 1 Planted in Christ, the living vine, This day, with one accord, Ourselves, with humble faith and joy, We yield to thee, O Lord. 2 Joined in one body may we be; One inward life partake; One be our heart; one heavenly hope In every bosom wake. 3 In prayer, in effort, tears, and toils, One wisdom be our guide; Taught by one Spirit from above, In thee may we abide. 4 Complete in us, whom grace hath called, Thy glorious work begun, O thou in whom the church on earth And church in heaven are one. 5 Around this feeble, trusting band Thy sheltering pinions spread, Nor let the storms of trial beat Too fiercely on our head. 6 Then, when, among the saints in light, Our joyful spirits shine, Shall anthems of immortal praise, O Lamb of God, be thine. Scripture: John 15:5

Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #506 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Church Fellowship Lyrics: 1 Oh, it is joy for those to meet Whom one communion blends, Counsel to hold in converse sweet, And talk as Christian friends. 2 'Tis joy to think the angel train, Who 'mid heaven's temple shine, To seek our earthly temples deign, And in our anthems join. 3 But chief, 'tis joy to think, that he, To whom his church is dear, Delights her gathered flock to see, Her joint devotions hear. 4 Then who would choose to walk abroad, While here such joys are given? This is indeed the house of God, And this the gate of heaven! Scripture: Psalm 133:1

Scripture: Psalm 133:1

O Christians! to their rescue fly, Preach Jesus to them ere they die. 2 Wealth, labor, talents, freely give, Yea, life itself, that they may live; What hath your Saviour done for you! And what for him will ye not do? 3 Thou Spirit of the Lord! go forth; Call in the south, wake up the north; Of every clime, from sun to sun, Gather God's children into one.

Praise The Lord That He Has Built

Author: J. C. Aaberg Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #88 (1930) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Topics: The Means of Grace The Christian Church Lyrics: 1 Praise the Lord that He has built Here on earth a sanctuary, Where the soul, oppressed by guilt, Safe beneath His wings may tarry, While His mercy, love and grace All its guilty stains efface. 2 Built upon the rock it stands Firmly through the passing ages, Heeding not the world's demands, Nor the storm that round it rages, But to souls with cares replete It remains a blest retreat. 3 There the wounded hearts are healed, Grace to yearning souls imparted, Light to sightless eyes revealed, Strength renewed in feeble-hearted, So that souls, from weakness prone, Grow like trees in Lebanon. 4 Send us, Lord, Thy heav'nly dove, Open wide Thy living fountain, Deck Thine altar with Thy love, Teach us from Thy holy mountain, Shield us all beneath Thy wing Till, at home, Thy praise we sing.

Scripture: Genesis 24:31
