LyicsKindred in Christ, for his dear sake
A hearty welcome here re-ceive;
May we to-geth-er now par-take
The joys which on-ly he can give.
May he, by whose kind care we meet,
Send his good Spirit from above;
Make our communications sweet,
And cause our hearts to burn with love.
Forgotten be each worldly theme,
When Christians meet together thus:
We only wish to speak of him
Who lived, and died, and reigns for us.
We'll talk of all he did, and said,
And suffered for us here below;
The path he marked for us to tread,
And what he's doing for us now.
Thus, as the moments pass away,
We'll love, and wonder, and adore;
And hasten on the glorious day
When we shall meet to part no more.
