From whence doth this union arise,
That hatred is conquered by love?
It fastens our souls with such ties,
That distance and time can’t remove.

It cannot in Eden be found,
Nor yet in paradise lost;
It grows on Immanuel’s ground,
And Je­sus’ dear blood it did cost.

My friends now so dear unto me,
Our souls are united in love:
Where Je­sus is gone we shall be,
In yonder blest mansions above.

Then why so unwilling to part,
Since there we shall meet again?
Engraved on Immanuel’s heart,
At distance we cannot remain.

With Je­sus we ever shall reign,
And all His bright glo­ry shall see,
And sing hallelujah, Amen,
Amen, even so let it be!
