Happy the souls that first believed,&lt;br&gt;<br /> To Jesus and each other cleaved;&lt;br&gt;<br /> Joined, by the unction from above,&lt;br&gt;<br /> In mystic fellowship of love.<br /> <br /> 2. Meek, simple followers of the Lamb,&lt;br&gt;<br /> They lived, and spake, and thought the same:&lt;br&gt;<br /> They joyfully conspired to raise&lt;br&gt;<br /> Their ceaseless sacrifices of praise.<br /> <br /> 3. With grace abundantly endued,&lt;br&gt;<br /> A pure believing multitude,&lt;br&gt;<br /> They all were of one heart and soul,&lt;br&gt;<br /> And only love inspired the whole.<br /> <br /> 4. O what an age of golden days!&lt;br&gt;<br /> O what a choice peculiar race!&lt;br&gt;<br /> Washed in the Lamb's all cleansing blood,&lt;br&gt;<br /> Anointed Kings and Priests to God!<br /> <br /> 5. Where shall I wander now to find,&lt;br&gt;<br /> The Successors they left behind?&lt;br&gt;<br /> The faithful, whom I seek in vain,&lt;br&gt;<br /> Are 'minished from the sons of men.<br /> <br /> 6. Ye different sects, who all declare,&lt;br&gt;<br /> &quot;Lo! here is Christ,&quot; or &quot;Christ is there?&quot;&lt;br&gt;<br /> Your stronger proofs divinely give,&lt;br&gt;<br /> And show me where the Christians live.<br /> <br /> [[category:Hymns]]<br /> [[category:Lyrics]]<br /> [[category:Public Domain]]<br /> [[category:Public Domain Lyrics]]<br /> [[category:English Lyrics]]<br /> [[category:British English Lyrics]]<br /> [[category:8 8 8 8]]</div>
