“Called unto the fellowship of ... Christ.” 1 Cor. 1. 9

1 Come, thou now exalted Saviour,
  Bless us with a solemn frame;
  Teach us now, henceforth, for ever,
  To adore thy precious name;
  Lovely Jesus,

2 Lead us forth by thy sweet Spirit,
  Now to feed on heavenly food;
  And by faith may we inherit
  The true riches of our God;
  And with pleasure,
  Trace the wonders of thy blood.

3 Into thy heart-breaking sorrows,
  May our souls be sweetly led;
  May we gaze upon the furrows
  That within thy back were made;
  And, believing,
  Fellowship with Jesus have.

4 May we never rest, or glory
  In a form, without the power;
  Jesus, make us wise and holy,
  Thee to love and to adore;
  And, in living,
  Live in thee for evermore.

5 [While in Meshech we must wander,
  Lead us out of self to thee;
  And, with a transporting wonder,
  May we oft thy glory see;
  And, when dying,
  Sing of deathless victory.]
