Acts 15: Happy church when all are join'd
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Happy church when all are join'd
In one spirit, heart, and mind,
In the truth's defence agree,
In the bond of- charity
All at Jesus' glory aim,
All rejoice to speak the same!
None affects dominion there,
Challenges the' unerring chair;
None the hoodwink'd people guides,
Magisterially decides,
Bids the rest submit to him
Judge infallible, supreme.
On the common good intent
All conspire with one consent
Peace and concord to restore,
Saints aspire to nothing more;
Only seek by this to prove
Jesus and His church they love.
