13772. Brethren, Beloved For Jesu's Sake

1 Brethren, beloved for Jesu’s sake,
A hearty welcome here receive;
May we together now partake
The joys which He alone can give!

2 May He, by whose kind care we meet,
Send His good Spirit from above,
Make our communications sweet,
And cause our hearts to burn with love!

3 Forgotten be each worldly theme,
When thus we meet to pray and praise,
We only wish to speak of Him,
And tell the wonders of His grace.

4 We’ll talk of all He did and said,
His suffering and His dying love,
The path He marked for us to tread,
And how He triumphs now above.

5 Thus as the moments pass away,
We’ll love, and wonder, and adore;
Then hasten on the glorious day,
When we shall meet to part no more.
