Love and union, Zion’s basis—
Sweet as summer’s morning air;
No affliction, time, nor places,
Can the blessing from us tear.
Union feasts our souls with pleasure,
And increases love and zeal;
Union is our heavenly treasure,
And its blessedness we feel.
All who join in true devotion,
Partners of eternal rest;
Feel this union like an ocean,
Roll within their peaceful breast.
They can sing eternal praises,
Unto God and to the Lamb;
Though the world around us gazes,
We do feel a heavenly calm.
Oh, how peaceful, and how lovely,
Are the souls where union reigns;
Such are good and kind, and holy—
Happy souls who union gain.
‘Tis the offsprings of kind heaven,
Pure and lovely all divine;
Union gentle mild and even,
Union, I will make thee mine.
