While in the world we still remain,
We meet —yet soon must part again;
But when we reach the heavenly shore,
Who then shall meet to part no more.
The hope that we shall see that day,
Should chase our present griefs away;
A few short years of conflict past,
We meet around the throne at last.
Then let us here improve the hours,
Improve them to a Saviour’s praise;
To him with zeal devote our powers,
And run with joy in wisdom’s way.
Let all our meetings now be made
Subservient to each other’s good;
For worldly joys must quickly fade,
Nor can they yield substantial food.
Whene’er required to part from those
With whom the truth unites us here,
We’ll call to mind the joyful close,
When Christ, the Saviour, will appear.
Then shall the saints all meet again,
(For so the word of promise says.)
With him for ever to remain,
And sing his everlasting praise.
