LyicsFrom whence does the union arise,
That hatred is conquer'd by love?
It fastens our souls with such ties
That distance nor time can remove.
It cannot in Eden be found,
Nor yet in Paradise lost;
It grows on Immanuel's ground,
And Jesus' life's blood it did cost.
My friends once so dear unto me,
Our souls so united in love;
Where Jesus is gone we shall be,
In yonder blest mansions above.
O! why, then, so loath we to part,
Since there we shall soon meet again?
Engrav'd on Immanuel's heart,
At a distance we cannot remain.
And then we shall see that bright day,
And join with the angels above,
Set free from our prisons of clay,
United in Jesus' kind love.
With Jesus we ever shall reign,
And all his bright glory shall see,
Singing hallelujahs--Amen!
Amen! Even so let it be.
