1. Blest be that sacred covenant love,
Uniting, though we part;
We may be called far off to move,
We still are one in heart.

2. Joined in one spirit to our Head,
Where He appoints, we go;
And while we in His footsteps tread,
Show forth His praise below.

3. O may we ever walk with Him,
and nothing know beside;
Naught else desire, naught else esteem
But Jesus Crucified.

4. Nor joy nor grief, nor time nor place,
Nor life nor death can part
Those who, enjoying Jesus' grace,
In Him are one in heart.

Blue Psalter Hymnal, 1959
