Hymnal: Hymns and Spiritual Songs for the use of Christians #60 (1803) First Line: When Paul was parted from his friends Lyrics: 1 When Paul was parted from his friends
It was a weeping day;
But Jesus made them all amends,
And wip'd their tears away.
2 Ere long they met again with joy,
(Secure, no more to part)
Where praises ev'ry tongue employ,
And pleasure fills each heart.
3 Thus all the preachers of his grace
Their children soon shall meet;
Together see their Saviour's face,
And worship at his feet.
4 But they who heard the word in vain,
Though oft and plainly warn'd;
Will tremble when they meet again,
The ministers they scorn'd.
5 On your own heads you blood will fall
If any perish here;
The preachers who have told you all,
Shall stand approv'd and clear.
6 Yet, Lord to save themselves alone,
Is not their utmost view;
Oh! hear their pray'r their message own,
And save their hearers too.
