Lord, when together here we meet,
And taste thy heavenly grace,
Thy smiles are so divinely sweet,
We're loath to leave the place.
Yet, Father, since it is thy will
That we must part again,
O let thy gracious presence still
With ev'ry one remain!
Thus let all in Christ be one,
Bound with the cords of love,
Till we, around thy glorious throne,
Shall joyous meet above:
Where sin and sorrow from each heart
Shall then for ever fly,
And not one thought that we shall part
Once intercept our joy.
---Alternative verses---
But, Father, since it is thy will.
That we must part again;
Oh, may thy special presence still,
With every one remain.
And let us all in Christ be one,
Bound with the cords of love;
Till we, before thy glorious throne.
Shall joyful meet above.
All sin and sorrow from each heart.
Shall then for ever fly;
Nor shall a thought that we must part,
Once interrupt our joy.
