Words

Christ, from whom all blessings flow,Pattern for thy saints below,Hear us, who thy nature share,Who thy mystic body are.Join us, in one spirit join,Let us still receive of thine;Still for more on thee we call,Thou who fillest all in all.

Move, and actuate, and guide,Divers gifts to each divide;Placed according to thy will,Let us all thy work fulfill;Never from our office move,Needful to each other prove,Let us daily growth receive,More and more in Jesus' live.

Sweetly may we all agree,Touched with tender sympathy;Kindly for each other care,Every member feel its share.Many are we now and one,We who Jesus have put on;Names, and sects, and parties fall:Thou, O Christ, art all in all.

About this hymn

As printed Words only. As printed: hymn number «1031» (large) at the foot of the left column of p. 353, below stanza 3 of hymn 1030 and «James Montgomery.», with the reference line «771, 778, 901» in italics beside it (sing to the tune of hymn 771, 778 or 901; the closing mark is probably a comma — see uncertainties.md). The first word «CHRIST» is set in capitals and small capitals. Stanza 1 begins at the foot of the left column (four lines) and continues at the head of the right column (four lines); stanzas 2 and 3 follow in the right column, with «Charles Wesley.» in italics after stanza 3. The stanzas are numbered «1»–«3» without a full stop (numbered «1.»–«3.» here), and all eight lines of each stanza are set flush (no indentation). The printer's thin space before «;» and «:» («thine ;», «divide ;», «fulfill ;», «sympathy ;», «on ;», «fall :») is closed up here; the curly apostrophe of «Jesus'» is written straight. No meter is printed (the text is 7s. D., like the three tunes of the reference line). Spelling, punctuation and capitals are the print's.
