Hymnal: A New Collection of Hymns and Spiritual Songs, from various authors—some entirely new (3rd Windsor Ed.) #VI (1793) First Line: O whence doth this union arise Lyrics: 1 O whence doth this union arise,
That hatred is conquer'd by love!
That fastens our souls in such ties,
That nature and time can't remove.
2 This cannot in Eden be found,
Nor yet in Paradise lost;
It grows on Immanuel's ground,
And Jesus' dear blood it hath cost.
3 My friends are indeed dear to me,
Our hearts are united in love;
Where Jesus is gone we shall be,
In yonder blest mansions above.
4 O why then so loth thus to part,
Since there we shall all meet again,
Ingrav'd on Immanuel's heart,
A distance we cannot remain.
5 And when we shall see that bright day,
And unite with the choir above,
We'll quit these vile bodies of clay,
And join with Christ Jesus in love.
6 With Jesus we ever will reign,
And all his bright glory we'll see;
And sing, Allelujah, Amen,
Amen, ever so let it be. Languages: English
