The time draws nigh when we must part,
My brethren in the Lord;
O, may we ever join in heart,
And trust God’s holy word.

Perhaps we never more may meet
While in this world we stay;
O may we be at Jesus feet,
And praise, and watch, and pray.

I entreat you all to pray for me,
My brethren in the Lord,
That I may ever faithful be,
And subject to his word.

Should e’re I reach the peaceful shore,
I hope to meet you there,
To sing God’s praise for ever more,
And love without a fear.

There we shall know as we are known,
And with our Savior be,
Dwell where His brightness will be shown
To all eternity.

No sorrow then, to make us sigh,
No tears bedew the face;
But each, enraptured, then will cry,
Lord, we are saved by grace.

I shall the greatest wonder be,
My brethren, when I am there;
If grace has reach’d unworthy me,
Who is there need to fear?
