THE LOADSTONE OF HIS LOVE by CHARLES WESLEY

Poet Analysis

First Line: JESUS, UNITED BY THY GRACE
Last Line: THAT WAS IN THEE RECEIVE.
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST;

Jesus, united by Thy grace,
And each to each endear'd,
With confidence we seek Thy face,
And know our prayer is heard.

Still let us own our common Lord,
And bear Thine easy yoke--
A band of love, a threefold cord,
Which never can be broke.

Make us into one spirit drink;
Baptize into Thy name;
And let us always kindly think,
And sweetly speak, the same.

Touch'd by the loadstone of Thy love,
Let all our hearts agree;
And ever toward each other move,
And ever move toward Thee.

To Thee, inseparably join'd,
Let all our spirits cleave;
O may we all the loving mind
That was in Thee receive.
