585. C. M. Montgomery.

Unity.

1 The glorious universe around,

The heavens with all their train,

Sun, moon and stars, are firmly bound

In one mysterious chain.

2 The earth, the ocean, and the sky,

To form one world agree;

Where all that walk, or swim, or fly,

Compose one family.

3 God in creation thus displays

His wisdom and His might;

While all His works with all His ways

Harmoniously unite.

4 In one fraternal bond of love,

One fellowship of mind,

The saints below and saints above

Their bliss and glory find.

5 Here, in their house of pilgrimage,

Thy statutes are their song;

There, through one bright, eternal age,

Thy praises they prolong.

6 Lord, may our union form a part

Of that thrice happy whole;

Derive its pulse from Thee the heart,

Its life from Thee the soul.
