FIELD NOTES

“Jesus, United by Thy Grace”

Jesus, united by thy grace
And each to each endeared,
With confidence we seek thy face
And know our prayer is heard.

Up unto thee, our living Head
Let us in all things grow;
Till thou hast made us free indeed
And spotless here below.

This is the bond of perfectness,
Thy spotless charity;
O let us, still we pray, possess
The mind that was in thee.

– Charles Wesley, 1742
