Lyics

Blessed be the dear u-nit-ing love,

That will not let us part;

Our bod-ies may far re-move-

We still are one in heart.



Joined in one Spirit to our Head,

Where he appoints, we go;

And still in Jesus' footsteps tread,

And show his praise below.



Partakers of the Savior's grace,

The same in mind and heart;

Nor joy, nor grief, nor time, nor place,

Nor life, nor death, can part.
