CCXXXIII. The Same. At Parting.—Hymn 43.
PART I.
1And let our bodies part,
To different climes repair;
Inseparably joined in heart
The friends of Jesus are:
Jesus the Corner Stone,
Did first our souls unite;
And still He holds, and keeps us one,
Who walk with Him in white.
2Then let us still proceed
In Jesu's work below;
And, following our triumphant Head,
To farther conquests go;
The vineyard of the Lord
Before His labourers lies;
And lo! we see the vast reward
That waits us in the skies.
3O let our heart and mind
Continually ascend,
That haven of repose to find,
Where all our labours end.
When all our grief is o’er,
Our suffering, and our pain:
Who meet on that eternal shore
Shall never part again.
4O happy, happy place,
Where saints and angels meet!
There we shall see each other's face,
And all our brethren greet.
