Through thee as we together came

Through thee as we together came,
In singleness of heart,
And met, O Jesus! in thy name,
So in thy name we part.

Nearer to thee our spirits lead,
And still thy love bestow,
Till thou hast made us free indeed,
And spotless, here below.

When to the right or left we stray,
Leave us not comfortless,
But guide our feet into the way
Of everlasting peace.
