WHEN all are sweetly joined, True followers of the Lamb, All one in heart and mind, Who think and speak the same: When such in love together dwell The comfort is unspeakable.
Where fellowship takes place, The joys of Heaven we prove; This is that Gospel grace, The unction from above: The Spirit on believers shed, Descending down from Christ our Head.
Jesus, our great High Priest, For us the gift received, For us, and all the rest Who have in Him believed: Forth from our Head the blessing goes And over true disciples flows.
E’en now our Lord doth pour This bounty from above, A kindly, gracious shower Of heart-reviving love; The former and the latter rain, The love of God and love of man!
Charles Wesley, 1707-88
