Hymn 692

Brethren let us walk together

Meter: 8.7.8.7.D

Scripture: 1 John. 4:21

1

Brethren let us walk together

In love and the peace of God

Ought we to begin to question

Whether we should cease all strife?

In communion, sweet communion

Will our love and joy increase.

2

mpAs we make our journey homeward

Let us help ourselves along

Our foes encircle us around

Snares are laid out on our way

Our duty is, our duty is

To bear each other’s burden.

3

When we think of what God has done

In forgiving o’er and o'er

Brethren, ought we not to learn that

Striving should be set aside

Let us avoid, let us avoid

All the anger and the strife.

4

Let us seek our brother’s honour

More than we would seek our own

Let us leave all spite and

And our hearts be filled with love

Twill be sweeter, 'twill be sweeter

If we’re in oneness on earth.
