Lyrics

Who can reconcile and make
The Christians of one mind? (John 17:20-23, Rom. 15:5-6, I Cor. 1:10, Phil. 2:2)
Both the sticks if Jesus take,
They in his hands are join’d: (Ezek. 37:17)
Lord, thy promise we believe,
Thou wilt perform the grace foretold,
All our jarring sects receive,
And blend us in one fold. (Ezek. 37:15-22, John 10:16)
