The body and the Head are one

Verse 1
The body and the Head are one,
One Spirit in all the members lives,
And whatsoe’er to them is done
Jesus as done to Him receives,
Strangely partakes of their distress,
And suffers with his witnesses

Verse 2
But stricter still the union is
’Twixt Christ, and those He doth ordain:
Their mission is a part of his,
His place and office they sustain,
With his authority indued,
As envoys from the living God!
