| Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; that the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. (Philem. 3‑6) |
| We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers. (1 Thess. 1:2) |
We look to meet our brethren
From every distant shore;
Not one will seem a stranger,
Though never seen before. |
Our hearts with rapture burning,
The path we shall retrace,
Where now our souls are learning
The riches of Thy grace. |
