Perfect harmony and joy unspeakable.
ALL praise to our redeeming Lord,
Who joins us by his grace,
And bids us, each to each restored,
Together seek his face.
2 He bids us build each other up;
And, gather’d into one,
To our high calling’s glorious hope,
We hand in hand go on.
3 The gift which he on one bestows,
We all delight to prove;
The grace through every vessel flows,
In purest streams of love.
4 E’en now we think and speak the same,
And cordially agree,—
United all, through Jesus’ name,
In perfect harmony.
5 We all partake the joy of one;
The common peace we feel;
A peace to sensual minds unknown,—
A joy unspeakable.
6 And if our fellowship below
In Jesus be so sweet,
What height of rapture shall we know
When round his throne we meet!
Charles Wesley
Methodist Episcopal hymnal (1870 edition)
