1 Lord, when together here we meet,
And taste thy heav'nly grace;
Thy smiles are so divinely sweet,
We're loth to leave the place.

2 But father, since it is thy will,
That we must part again;
Yet let thy special presence still,
With ev'ry one remain.

3 Let us all in Christ be one,
Bound with the cords of love;
Till we before the glorious throne
Shall joyful meet above.

4 There void of all destracting pains,
Our spirits ne'er shall tire;
But in seraphic, endless strains,
Redeeming love admire.

5 All sin and sorrow from each heart,
Shall then forever fly;
Nor shall a thought that we must part,
Once interrupt our joy.

6 And thus to all eternity,
Upon the heav'nly shore,
The great mysterious One in Three,
Jehovah we'll adore.
