LyicsBLEST be the dear, uniting love,
That will not let us part;
Our bodies may far off remove,
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 Saviour's grace,
The same in mind and heart,
Nor joy, nor grief, nor time, nor place,
Nor life, nor death, can part.
