Verse 1
Two are better far than one
For counsel, and for fight:
How can one be warm alone,
Or serve his God aright?
Join we then our hearts and hands,
Each to love provoke his friend,
Run the way of his commands,
And keep them to the end.

Verse 2
Woe to him, whose spirits droop,
To him, who falls alone!
He has none to lift him up,
And help his weakness on:
Happier we each other keep,
We each other’s burthen bear;
Never need our footsteps slip,
Upheld by mutual prayer.

Verse 3
Who of twain hath made us one
Maintains our unity,
Jesus is the corner-stone,
In whom we all agree;
Servants of our common Lord,
Sweetly of one heart and mind,
Who can break a threefold cord,
Or part whom God hath join’d?

Verse 4
Breathes as in us both one soul,
When most distinct in place,
Interposing oceans roll,
Nor hinder our embrace;
Each as on his mountain stands,
Reaching hearts across the flood,
Join our hearts, if not our hands,
And sing the pardning God.

Verse 5
O that all with us might prove
The fellowship of saints!
Find supplied in Jesu’s love
What every member wants!
Gain we our high calling’s prize,
Feel our sins thro’ Christ forgiven,
Rise, to all his image rise,
And meet our head in heaven.
