And Let Our Bodies Part

And let our bo­dies part

To dif­fer­ent climes re­pair;

Inseparably joined in heart

The friends of Je­sus are.

O let us still pro­ceed

In Je­sus’ work be­low;

And

fol­low­ing our tri­umph­ant Head

To fur­ther con­quests go!

The vine­yard of the Lord

Before His la­bor­ers lies;

And lo! we see the vast re­ward

Which waits us in the skies.

O let our heart and mind

Continually as­cend

That hav­en of repose to find

Where all our la­bors end.

When all our toils are o’er

Our suf­fer­ing and our pain!

Who meet on that eter­nal shore

Shall nev­er part again.

O hap­py

hap­py place

Where saints and an­gels meet;

There we shall see each oth­er’s face

And all our breth­ren greet.
