Hymn
Christian Love
Let party names no more
The Christian world o'erspread;
Gentile and Jew, and bond and free,
Are one in Christ their head.
Among the saints on earth,
Let mutual love be found;
Heirs of the same inheritance,
With mutual blessings crowned.
Thus will the church below
Resemble that above;
Where streams of pleasure ever flow,
And every heart is love.
