1 Blest be the dear uniting love
That will not let us part;
Our bodies may far off remove,
We still are one in heart.
2 Joined in one spirit to our head,
Where he appoints we go;
And still in Jesus’ footsteps tread,
And show his praise below.
3 O may we ever walk in him,
And nothing know beside,
Nothing desire, nothing esteem,
But Jesus crucified.
4 Closer and closer let us cleave,
To his beloved embrace;
Expect his fulness to receive,
And grace to answer grace.
5 Partakers of the Saviour’s grace,
The same in mind and heart,
Nor joy, nor grief, nor time, nor place,
Nor life, nor death can part.
