Love-feast

Charles Wesley • English

Primary Scripture: 1 John 1:7

Verse 1

While we walk with God in light, God our hearts doth still unite; Dearest fellowship we prove, Fellowship in Jesus' love:

Verse 2

Sweetly each, with each combined, In the bonds of duty joined, Feels the cleansing blood applied, Daily feels that Christ hath died.

Verse 3

Still, O Lord, our faith increase; Cleanse from all unrighteousness; Thee the unholy cannot see, Make, O make us meet for thee;

Verse 4

Every vile affection kill, Root out every seed of ill, Utterly abolish sin, Write thy law of love within.

Verse 5

Hence may all our actions flow, Love the proof that Christ we know; Mutual love the token be, Lord, that we belong to thee:

Verse 6

Love, thine image, love impart, Stamp it now on every heart; Only love to us be given; Love, the crowning grace of heaven.
