LyicsKINDRED in Christ, for his name's sake,
A hearty welcome here receive;
May we together now partake
The joys which only he can give.
To you and us by grace 'tis giv'n
To know the Saviour's precious name;
And shortly we shall meet in heav'n,
Our hope, our way, our end the same.
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 liv'd, and died, and reigns for us
We'll talk of all he did and said,
And suffer'd for us here below;
The path he mark'd 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.
