All praise to our redeeming Lord,Who joins us by his grace;And bids us, each to each restored,Together seek his face.

He bids us build each other up;And gathered into one,To our high calling's glorious hopeWe hand in hand go on.

The gift which he on one bestowsWe all delight to prove;The grace through every vessel flowsIn purest streams of love.

And if our fellowship belowIn Jesus be so sweet,What hight of rapture shall we knowWhen round his throne we meet!

About this hymn

As printed Words only. As printed: hymn number «1017» (large) in the right column of p. 348, under hymn 1016 («Anon.»), with the reference line «399, 794, 354.» in italic figures beside it (sing to the tunes of hymns 399, 794 or 354; no meter is printed — the lines 8.6.8.6 are C. M., like the referenced tunes). Stanzas numbered «1»–«4» without periods (written «1.»–«4.» here, as in the other deliveries of this book); lines 2 and 4 indented. The first word «ALL» is set in capitals and small capitals; written «All». «Charles Wesley.» in italics, right-aligned, at the foot of the column. The print sets a thin space before «;» and «!» («up ;», «prove ;», «meet !»); it is closed up here. A speck on the baseline between «We» and «all» (stanza 3) is not a character. The apostrophe of «calling's» is written straight. Spelling («hight»), punctuation and capitals are the print's.
