10930. Kindred In Christ, For His Dear Sake

1 Kindred in Christ, for His dear sake,
A hearty welcome here receive;
May we together now partake
The joys which only He can give!

2 To you and us by grace ’tis giv’n,
To know the Savior’s precious name;
And shortly we shall meet in Heav’n,
Our hope, our way, our end, the same.

3 May He, by whose kind care we meet,
Send His good Spirit from above,
Make our communications sweet,
And cause our hearts to burn with love!

4 Forgotten be each worldly theme,
When Christians see each other thus;
We only wish to speak of Him,
Who lived, and died, and reigns for us.

5 We’ll talk of all He did and said,
And suffered for us here below;
The path He marked for us to tread,
And what He’s doing for us now.

6 Thus, as the moments pass away,
We’ll love, and wonder, and adore;
And hasten on the glorious day,
When we shall meet to part no more.
