Actually, some of these posts are just poetry - not hymns - but here we go.
He that is joined unto the Lord. I Corinthians vi.17
Dear is Thy presence with Thy friends
To faith's glad eyes reveal'd -
Their sun when sorrow's night descends
In battle's hour their shield.
But oh, when inmost spirits faint,
'Tis life to clasp the Word
That tells of Thee with every saint
For ever one, dear Lord.
Companions may converse and go;
But what shall now divide
Members and Head, above, below -
The Bridegroom and the Bride?
H.C.G.M.
