CCI. Parting with Friends

1 Now Lord, tho' we must part awhile,
Upon the Heav'nly Road;
Yet let thy Face upon us smile,
And keep us near our God.

2 And if on Earth again we meet,
Lord let us meet with thee;
And let thy gracious Presence Sweet
From Bondage set us free.

3 This only this we humbly crave,
While Earth is our Abode;
That we with Christ and Saints my have,
Communion on the Road.

4 For since our Fellowship below,
Affords such Joy and Love;
We long its full Extent to know,
When we shall meet above.

5 Let this, O Lord excite us on,
To keep the narrow Way,
Till we shall meet around thy Throne,
With all the Heirs of Day.

6 Come Holy Ghost, our Souls inspire!
Maintain this Flame of Love,
Till we shall join that glorious Choir,
Of Worshippers above.
