LyicsFrom whence does this 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 a Paradise lost;
It grows on Immanuel's ground,
And Jesus' life's blood it has cost.
My friends so endear'd unto me,
Our souls so united in love,
Where Jesus is gone we shall be,
In yonder blest mansions above.
Why, then, so unwilling to part,
Since there we shall soon meet again?
Engraved on Immanuel's heart,
At 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 soe:
Then sing hallelujah, Amen!
Even so let it be!
