Like the meeting of the waters

1 Like the meeting of the waters
In the vale of pleasant streams,
In that fair and sunny Eden
That we sometimes see in dreams;
Like two threads of shining silver
Woven in a perfect cord;
These two lives which hence forever
Are as one in Christ the Lord.

2 May their minds in future blending
Know the purest of earth's peace;
May no evil cloud descending
Cause their perfect trust to cease;
With the other, each forbearing,
When the time of trials come,
Ev'ry joy and sorrow sharing,
Fill with light the halls of home.

3 In our life there comes no blessing,
Nor a pleasure can we name,
Nor a gift worth the possessing,
if God blesses not the same;
Therefore, sanctify, our Father,
With Thy Spirit, this pure vow,
May it ever hold unbroken
These two lives in love, as now.
