For gar­ners built above.
Then we shall ga­ther home,
Linked again be­fore the throne.
When shall we meet again?
One by one, al­though each name
Tremendous Lord, Thy voice we hear,
And round my heart still close­ly twine
The source of peace that knows no end,
And plead their cause against their foes.
In sac­red bonds of kin­dred love
Raise thy heart, Christ­ian, ere it re­pos­eth;
start
O love, ceas­ing nev­er, from thee what can part?
Tho’ we suf­fer tri­bu­la­tion here,
start
Look well to your ca­bles, my bro­ther,
start
Oh, joy­ful song! Oh, ran­somed throng!
Still they are watch­ing for me.
Dwell Thou, O Sav­ior, in my heart for­ev­er,

sev­er

Eternally sev­er, sev­er,
Clasped in eter­nal love,
Sundered far by miles and years;
When will peace wreathe her chain
Jesus Christ is still the same
In an­ger great, I soon will rise!
For I am His, and He is mine,
The hon­ors paid Thy ho­ly name
‘Tis but to purge away their sin;
end
And when all thy work is done, praise Him for­ev­er.
And of sor­rows so hard to en­dure;
Now op­ens the por­tal, O blest Je­su mine!
Think of the joy when tri­als are past,
The se­venth trum­pet speaks Him near;
Take heed lest you slip from your moor­ings,
No des­ert in­ter­vene;
Our king to see, and, oh, to be
Over the beau­ti­ful riv­er;
Comfort and lead me, I would leave Thee nev­er,
