And though our bodies part
1
And though our bodies part,To different climes afar,Still ever joined as one in heartThe friends of Jesus are.
2
O let us still proceedIn Jesus' work below;And, following our triumphant Head,To further conquests go.
3
The vineyard of the LordBefore his laborers lies,And lo! we see the vast rewardWhich waits us in the skies.
4
O that our heart and mindMay evermore ascend,That haven of repose to find,Where all our labors end;
5
Where all our toils are o'er,Our suffering and our pain!Who meet on that eternal shoreShall never part again.
6
O happy, happy place,Where saints and angels meet!There we shall see each other's face,And all our brethren greet.
