649. And let our bodies part

1 And let our bodies part,
To different climes repair;
Inseparably join'd in heart
The friends of Jesus are!

2 Jesus, the corner stone,
Did first our hearts unite!
And still he keeps our spirits one,
Who walk with him in white.

3 O let us still proceed
In Jesus’ work below;
And, following our triumphant Head,
To further conquests go.

4 The vineyard of the Lord
Before his lab'rers lies;
And lo! we see the vast reward
Which waits us in the skies!

5 O let our heart and mind
Continually ascend;
That heaven of repose to find,
Where all our labours end.

6 Where all our toils are o’er,
Our suff'rings and our pain;
Who meet on that eternal shore
Shall never part again.

7 O happy, happy place,
Where saints and angels meet;
There we shall see each other’s face,
And all our brethren greet.

8 To gather home his own,
God shall his angels send
And bid our bliss, on earth begun,
In deathless triumphs end.
