Where two or three, with sweet accord

Hymnal: BW1867 #178 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Where two or three, with sweet accord, Obedient to their sovereign Lord, Meet to recount His acts of grace, And offer solemn prayer and praise,-- 2 "There," says the Saviour, "will I be, Amid this little company; To them unveil my smiling face, And shed my glories round the place." 3 We meet at Thy command, dear Lord, Relying on Thy faithful word: Now send Thy Spirit from above, Now fill our hearts with heavenly love.

Our souls, by love together knit

Hymnal: BW1867 #179 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Our souls, by love together knit, Cemented, mixed in one, One hope, one heart, one mind, one voice, 'Tis heaven on earth begun. 2 Our hearts have often burned within, And glowed with sacred fire, While Jesus spoke, and fed and blessed, And filled th' enlarged desire. 3 The little cloud increases still, The heavens are big with rain; We haste to catch the teeming shower, And all its moisture drain. 4 A rill, a stream, a torrent flows; But pour a mighty flood; Oh sweep the nations, shake the earth, 'Till all proclaim Thee God. 5 And when thou makes Thy jewels up, And sett'st Thy starry crown; When all Thy sparkling gems shall shine, Proclaimed by Thee thine own,-- 6 May we, a little band of love, We sinners, saved by grace, From glory unto glory changed, Behold Thee face to face.

Retire, vain world, a while retire

Hymnal: BW1867 #180 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Retire, vain world, a while retire, And leave us with the Lord; Thy gifts ne'er fill one just desire, Nor lasting bliss afford. 2 Blest Jesus! come now gentle down, And fill this hallowed place; Oh make Thy glorious goings known-- Diffuse around Thy grace. 3 Shine, dearest Lord, from realms of day-- Disperse the gloom of night; Chase all our clouds and doubts away, And turn the shades to light. 4 Behold, and pity, from above, Our cold and languid frame; Oh shed abroad Thy quickening love, And we'll adore Thy name. 5 All-glorious Saviour! source of grace; To Thee we raise our cry; Unveil the beauties of thy face To every waiting eye. 6 Revive, O God! desponding saints, Who languish, droop, and sigh; Refresh the soul that tires and faints-- Fill mourning hearts with joy. 7 Make known thy power, victorious King, Subdue each stubborn will; Then, sovereign grace we'll join to sing On Zion's sacred hill.

Blest be the tie that binds

Hymnal: BW1867 #181 (1867) Meter: 6.6.8.6 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 united 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.

This feeble spirit pants beneath The pleasing, painful load. 6 Dear Saviour, to Thy cross I bring my sacrifice; By Thee perfumed, it shall ascend With fragrance to the skies. 7 My life I would anew Devote, O Lord, to Thee and in Thy blessed presence spend A long eternity. 7 My life I would anew Devote, O Lord, to Thee: And in Thy blessed presence spend A long eternity.
