Lyics

LORD, when together here we meet,

And taste thy heav'nly grace,

Thy smiles are so divinely sweet,

We're loath to leave the place.



Yet, Father, since it is thy will

That we must part again,

O let thy gracious presence still

With ev'ry one remain!



Thus let all in Christ be one,

Bound with the cords of love,

Till we, around thy glorious throne,

Shall joyous meet above:



Where sin and sorrow from each heart

Shall then for ever fly,

And not one thought that we shall part

Once intercept our joy.
