Hymns about Fellowship

Christian fellowship is the shared life of believers united to Christ and therefore to one another. The early church continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in breaking of bread, and in prayers. Scripture teaches that if we walk in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin. True fellowship is more than social acquaintance; it is partnership in the gospel, mutual burden-bearing, and common joy in the Lord. It guards against isolation, softens hard hearts, and displays before the world the reconciling love of God.

Hymns of fellowship celebrate the communion of saints and the bonds that grace creates. They give voice to love for the brethren, unity of spirit, and the gladness of gathering in the name of Jesus. Congregations singing such songs confess that they are one body, many members, called to prefer one another and to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. These hymns also comfort the lonely by reminding them that they belong to a people purchased by the same blood.

Use these songs at the Lord's Table, church gatherings, welcome of new members, and times of reconciliation. In smaller groups and midweek meetings they knit hearts together after the Word is shared.
