Let us love one another, not long may we stay

Hymnal: The New Sabbath School Hosanna #49 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Let us love one another, not long may we stay In this brief world of mourning, so brief is life’s day; Some fade ere ’tis noon, and few linger till eve; Oh, there breaks not a heart but leaves some one to grieve. 2 And the fondest, the purest, the truest that met, Ever still found the need to forgive and forget; Then, oh, tho’ the hopes that we nourish'd decay, Let us love one another as long as we may. 3 Thus we’ll love one another 'midst sorrow the worst, Unalter'd and fond as we loved at the first; Tho’ the false wing of pleasure may change and forsake, And the bright urn of wealth into particles break. 4 There are some sweet affections that earth cannot buy, That cling but the closer when sorrow draws nigh, And remain with us yet, though all else pass away; Yes, we’ll love one another as long as we stay.
