Communion of Saints

My Saviour dear!
Though I dwell here.
And, far away beyond the skies.
My children blest
In happy rest
Dwell with Thee there in Paradise;

Yet if in Thee
My Life shall be
Holy and gentle all my days,
I know my prayer
Shall reach Thee there,
And mingle with my children's praise.

Their life is Thine,
And Thou art mine,
In Thee, Christ! we still are one,
If through Thy Love,
As there above,
Here upon earth Thy will be done.

Then give me grace
To seek Thy face.
That we, in Thee, may ever be,
Saviour dear!
Though parted here.
An undivided family.
