Our souls, by love together knit,
Cemented, mixt in one,
One hope, one heart, one mind, one voice,
'Tis heaven on earth begun.
Our hearts have often burn'd within.
And glow'd with sacred fire,
While Jesus spoke, and fed, and blest,
And fill'd th' enlarg'd desire.
“A Saviour!” let creation sing!
“A Saviour!” let all heaven ring!
He's God with us, we feel him ours,
His fulness on our souls he pours,
'Tis almost done, 'tis almost o'er
We're joining them who're gone before,
We then shall meet to part no more.
The little cloud increases still,
The heav'ns are big with rain;
We haste to catch the teeming show'r,
And all its moisture drain.
A rill, a stream, a torrent flows!
But pour a mighty flood;
Oh! sweep the nations, shake the earth,
Till all proclaim thee God.
“A Saviour!” let creation sing!
“A Saviour!” let all heaven ring!
He's God with us, we feel him ours,
His fulness on our souls he pours,
'Tis almost done, 'tis almost o'er
We're joining them who're gone before,
We then shall meet to part no more.
And when thou mak'st thy jewels up,
And set'st thy starry crown;
When all thy sparkling gems shall shine,
Proclaim'd by thee thine own;
May we, a little band of love.
We sinners, sav'd by grace.
From glory unto glory chang'd,
Behold thee face to face.
