EN 4805 Blest Be the Dear Uniting Love
1Cor.2.2
Versi Version 1
1
Blest be the dear uniting love,
That will not let us part!
Our bodies may far off remove,
We still are one in heart.
2
Joined in one spirit to our Head,
Where He appoints we go;
And still in Jesus’ footsteps tread,
And show His praise below.
3
O may we ever walk in Him,
And nothing know beside;
Nothing desire, nothing esteem,
But Jesus crucified.
4
Closer and closer let us cleave
To His beloved embrace;
Expect His fullness to receive
And grace to answer grace.
5
While thus we walk with Christ in light
Who shall our souls disjoin,
Souls, which Himself vouchsafes t’unite
In fellowship divine!
6
We all are one who Him receive,
The same in mind and heart,
Nor joy, nor grief, nor time, nor place,
Nor life, nor death can part.
7
Partakers of the Savior’s grace,
The same in mind and heart,
Nor joy, nor grief, nor time, nor place,
Nor life, nor death can part.
8
But let us hasten to the day
Which shall our flesh restore,
When death shall all be done away,
And bodies part no more!
