Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns, selected from sundry poets #VII (1791) Hymnal Title: A Collection of Hymns, selected from sundry poets First Line: Lord, when together here we meet Lyrics: 1 Lord, when together here we meet,
And taste thy heavenly grace,
Thy smiles are so divinely sweet,
We're loth to leave the place.
2 But, Father, since it is thy will,
That we should part again;
Yet let thy special presence still,
With every one remain.
3 And let us all in Christ be one,
Bound with the cords of love;
Till we before the glorious throne,
Shall joyful meet above.
4 Thence void of all distracting pains,
Our spirits ne'er shall tire,
But in seraphic endless strains,
Redeeming love admire.
5 All sin and sorrow from each heart,
Shall then forever fly,
Nor shall a tho't that we must part,
Once interrupt our joy.
6 And thus to all eternity,
Upon the heav'nly shore,
The great mysterious one in three,
Jehovah we'll adore. Languages: English
