LyicsNo seas again shall sever,
No desert intervene,
No deep, sad-flowing river
Shall roll its tide between.
Love and unsevered union
Of soul with those we love,
Nearness and glad communion,
Shall be our joy above.
No dread of wasting sickness,
No thought of ache or pain,
No fretting hours of weakness,
Shall mar our peace again.
No death our homes o'ershading
Shall e'er our harps unstring,
For all is life unfading
In presence of our King.
