On His Birthday, Hymn 43: At Parting, Part I

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Hymns and Sacred Poems (1749) · Osborn ed., vol. 5 (1869)

Religion

1. And let our bodies part,
To different climes repair,
Inseparably join'd in heart
The friends of Jesus are:
Jesus the Corner Stone,
Did first our souls unite;

And still He holds, and keeps us one,
Who walk with Him in white.
