Author: Thomas Baldwin Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12237 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: From whence doth this union arise Lyrics: 1 From whence doth this union arise,
That hatred is conquered by love?
It fastens our souls with such ties,
That distance and time can’t remove.
2 It cannot in Eden be found,
Nor yet in paradise lost;
It grows on Immanuel’s ground,
And Jesus’ dear blood it did cost.
3 My friends now so dear unto me,
Our souls are united in love:
Where Jesus is gone we shall be,
In yonder blest mansions above.
4 Then why so unwilling to part,
Since there we shall meet again?
Engraved on Immanuel’s heart,
At distance we cannot remain.
5 With Jesus we ever shall reign,
And all His bright glory shall see,
And sing hallelujah, Amen,
Amen, even so let it be! Languages: English Tune Title: UNION
From Whence Doth This Union Arise?
