2 Through thee we now together came. In singleness of heart ; We met, O Jesus, in thy name, And in thy name we part. 3 We part in body, not in mind; Our minds continue one ; And, each to each in Jesus join'd, We hand in hand go on. 4 Subsists as in us all one soul, No power can make us twain ; For the Society at Parting. OUl And mountains rise, and oceans roll, To sever us in vain. 5 Present we still in spirit are, And intimately nigh, While on the wings of faith and prayer We each to other fly. 6 In Jesus Christ together we In heavenly places sit ; Clothed with the sun, we smile to see The moon beneath our feet. 7 Our life is hid with Christ in God ; Our Life shall soon appear, And shed his glory all abroad In all his members here. 8 The heavenly treasure now we have In a vile house of clay ; But he shall to the utmost save, And keep it to that day. 9 Our souls are in his mighty hand, And he shall keep them still ; And you and I shall surely stand With him on Sion's hill ! 10 Him eye to eye we there shall see ; Our face like his shall shine : O what a glorious company, When saints and angels join ! HO what a joyful meeting there ! In robes of white array'd, Palms in our hands we all shall bear, And crowns upon our head. 12 Then let us lawfully contend, And fight our passage through ; Bear in our faithful minds the end, And keep the prize in view. Ov2 por the Society at Parting. 13 Then let us hasten to the day, When all shall he brought home ; Come, O Redeemer, come away, O Jesus, quickly come ! HYMN 538. 7's. 1 JESUS, soft harmonious Name, J Every faithful heart's desire ; See thy followers, O Lamb ! All at once to thee aspire : Drawn by thy uniting grace, After thee we swiftly run ; Hand in hand we seek thv face : Come, and perfect us in one. 2 Mollify our harsher will ; Each to each our tempers suit, By thy modulating skill,
