Representative Text

1 "No separation"!--O my soul,
'Tis God who speaks the word;
So close the Spirit thee unites
With Christ, thy risen Lord.

2 "No separation"!--thou art His,
And His for evermore;
Upon the cross thy debt He paid,
And all thy judgment bore.

3 "No separation"!--precious word!
In it, my soul, be glad;
Loved with an everlasting love,
And one with Jesus made.

4 "No separation"!--Life nor death,
Things present nor to come,
Can part thee from His precious care,
Or rob thee of thy home.

5 "No separation"!--Linked with Him,
His glory--all is thine;
Oh, wondrous love, that thus could plan
A union so divine!
