LyicsLord, 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 precious presence still
With every one remain.
Thus let us all in Christ be one,
Bound with the chords of love,
Till we around thy glorious throne,
Shall joyous meet above.
Where sin and sorrow from each heart
Shall then forever fly,
And not one thought that we shall part
Once intercept our joy.
