The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal ‎#308

308. Blest Be the Dear Uniting Love

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 let us ever walk in Him,
And nothing know beside,
Nothing desire nothing esteem,
But Jesus crucified!

4 Partakers of the Saviour's grace,
The same in mind and heart.
Not joy, nor grief, nor time, nor place,
Nor life, nor death can part.

5 Then let us hasten to the day
Which shall our flesh restore,
When death shall all be done away,
And bodies part no more.

AMEN.
