BOOK II. 3 May he, by whose kind care we meet, Send his good Spirit from above, Make our communications sweet, And cause our hearts to burn with love !

4 Forgotten be each worldly theme, When Christians see each other thus : We only wish to speak of Him Who lived and died and reigns for us.

5 We ll talk of all He did and said, And suffer d for us here below; The path He mark d for us to tread, And what He s doing for us now.

6 Thus, as the moments pass away, We ll love and wonder and adore, And hasten on the glorious day When we shall meet to part no more.

1 As the sun s enliv ning eye Shines on every place the same ; So the Lord is always nigh To the souls that love his name.

2 When they move at duty s call, He is with them by the way ; He is ever near them all, Those who go, and those who stay.

3 From his holy mercy-seat Nothing can their souls confine ; Still in spirit they may meet, And in sweet communion join.

4 For a season call d to part, Let us then ourselves commend To the gracious eye and heart Of our ever-present Friend.

5 Jesus, hear our humble pray rf Tender Shepherd of thy sheep,
