Christ, from Whom All Blessings Flow

Charles Wesley (1740) • English

Primary Scripture: Song of Solomon 8:6

Verse 1

Christ, from whom all blessings flow, Perfecting the saints below, Hear us who Thy nature share, Who Thy mystic body are, Who Thy mystic body are;

Verse 2

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, Thou who fillest all in all.

Verse 3

Move, and actuate and guide; Divers gifts to each divide; Placed according to Thy will, Let us all Thy work fulfill, Let us all Thy work fulfill.

Verse 4

Never from our office move, Needful to each other prove; Use the grace on each bestowed, Tempered by the art of God, Tempered by the art of God.

Verse 5

Sweetly may we all agree, Touched with loving sympathy, Kindly for each other care; Every member feel its share, Every member feel its share.

Verse 6

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, Thou, O Christ, art all in all.

Verse 7

Amen.
