God of all consolation, take

Hymnal: A Pocket hymn-book, designed as a constant companion for the pious #CCLXVII (1790) Lyrics: 1 God of all consolation, take The glory of thy grace! Thy gifts to thee we render back In ceaseless songs of praise. 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 Subsist as in us all one soul: No power can make us twain; And mountains rise, and oceans roll, To sever us in vain. 5 Present we still in spirit are, And intimately nigh, While o the wings of faith and prayer We each to other fly. 6 In Jesus Christ together we In heavenly places sit; Cloth'd 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 On 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 will 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! 11 O 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. 13 Then let us hasten to the day, When all shall be brought home! Come, O Redeemer, come away! O Jesus, quickly come! Topics: Society Parting Languages: English
