Our souls, by love together knit,
Cemented, mixed in one,
One hope, one heart, one mind, one voice,
'Tis heaven on earth begun.
Our hearts have often burned within.
And glowed with sacred fire,
While Jesus spoke, and fed, and blest,
And filled th' enlarged desire.
We're soldiers fighting for our God,
Let trembling cowards fly;
We'll stand unshaken, firm, and fixed,
With Christ to live and die.
Let devils rage, and hell assail,
We'll fight our passage through;
Let foes unite, and friends desert,
We'll seize the crown in view.
The little cloud increases still,
The heavens are big with rain;
We haste to catch the teeming shower,
And all its moisture drain.
A rill, a stream, a torrent flows!
But pour a mighty flood;
Oh! sweep the nations, shake the earth,
Till all proclaim thee God.
And when thou makest thy jewels up,
And set'st thy starry crown;
When all thy sparkling gems shall shine,
Proclaimed by thee thine own;
May we, a little band of love.
We sinners, saved by grace.
From glory unto glory changed,
Behold thee face to face.
---Alternative verses---
Our hearts have burned while Jesus spoke,
And glowed with sacred fire,
He stopped, and talked, and fed, and blessed,
And filled th' enlarged desire.
The little cloud increases still,
The heavens are big with rain;
We wait to catch the teeming shower,
And all its moisture drain.
A rill, a stream, a torrent flows!
But pour the mighty flood;
Oh! sweep the nations, shake the earth,
Till all proclaim thee God.
