Hymn 931

And let our bodies part

Meter: S.M.

Scripture: John 14:27

1

And let our bodies part,

To different climes repair;

Inseparably joined in heart

The friends of Jesus are.

2

Jesus, the corner stone

Did first our hearts unite

And still he keeps our spirits one

Who walk with him in white.

3

let us still proceed

In Jesus’ work below;

And, following our triumphant Head,

To further conquests go!

4

The vineyard of the Lord

Before His laborers lies;

And lo! we see the vast reward

Which waits us in the skies.

5

O let our heart and mind

Continually ascend,

That haven of repose to find,

Where all our labors end.

6

Where all our toils are o’er,

Our suffering and our pain!

Who meet on that eternal shore

Shall never part again.

7

O happy, happy place,

Where saints and angels meet;

There we shall see each other’s face,

And all our brethren greet.

8

The church of the first-born

We shall with them be blest

And crowned with endless joy return

To our eternal rest.
