1 Lord when together here we meet,
And taste thy heavenly grace;
Thy smiles are so divinely sweet,
We're loth to leave the place.
2 But father since it is thy will,
That we must part again;
Yet let thy special presence still,
With every one remain.
3 And let us all in Christ be one,
Bound with the cords of love;
Till we before the glorious throne,
Shall joyful meet above.
4 There void of all distracting pains,
Our spirits ne'er shall tire;
But in seraphic, endless strains,
Redeeming love admire.
5 All sin and sorrow from each heart,
Shall then forever fly;
Nor shall a thought that we must part,
Once interrupt our joy.
6 And thus to all eternity,
Upon the heavenly shore,
The great mysterious One in Three,
Jehovah we'll adore.
