110. The Lord Keep Watch Between Us

1 The Lord keep watch between us,
The ever present Friend;
No love like His so mighty,
To keep and to defend.

Refrain:
The Lord keep watch between us,
Keep watch in tend’rest love,
Until our praises mingle
Around the throne above.

2 Though absent from each other,
We are not far from Him;
Let not our courage falter,
Let not our faith grow dim. [Refrain]

3 Though time and space may sever
The Master’s servants here,
‘Tis only for a season,
The meeting-time draws near. [Refrain]

4 The Lord Himself is watching,
In tenderness and love;
Let praises meet and mingle
Around the throne above. [Refrain]
