 FOR THE SOCIETY AT PARTING. Where all our toils are o'er, Our suffering and our pain ! Who meet on that eternal hore Shall never part again. 40 happy, happy place, Where saints and angels meet! There we shall see each .other's face, And all our brethren greet: The church of the first-born, We shall with them be blest, And, crowned with endless joy, return To our eternal rest. 5 With joy we shall behold, In yonder blest abode, The patriarchs and prophets old, And all the saints of God. Abraham and Isaac there, And Jacob, shall receive The followers of their faith and praye.', Who now in bodies live. 6 We shall our time beneath Live out in cheerful hope, And fearless pass the vale of death, And gain the mountain-top. To gather home his own God shall his angels send, And bid Our bliss, on earth begun, In deathless triumph end. 536 I ]-ESUS, accept the praise O That to thy name belongs; Matter of all our lays, Subject of all our songs: Through thee we now together camo, And part exulting in thy name.
