Lyics

BLEST be the dear, uniting love,

That will not let us part;

Our bodies may far off remove,

We still are one in heart.



Join'd in one spirit to our Head,

Where He appoints, we go;

And still in Jesus's 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.
