Christology Social Holiness Reign of God
Not by a sameness of opinions join'd, But cemented with the Redeemer's blood, And bound together in the heart of God. Can we forget from whence our union came, When first we simply met in Jesus' name? The name mysterious of the God UNKNOWN, Whose secret love allur'd, and drew us on Thro' a long, lonely, legal wilderness, To find the promis'd land of gospel peace.
