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 Savior's grace,
The same in mind and heart.
Nor joy, nor grief, nor time, nor place,
Nor life, nor death can part.
