Lyrics
Why should ye all be weeping
And break my very heart?
We're in the Saviour's keeping
And shall not therefore part.
No time nor place can sever
The bonds which us have bound;
In Christ abide forever,
Who once in Him were found.
As though to part forever
We press each other's hands;
And yet no pow'r can sever
Our love's eternal bands.
We look quite brokenhearted
And sob our last farewell,
And yet cannot be parted,
For we in Jesus dwell.
We say: "I here, you yonder;
You go and I remain,"
And yet are not asunder,
But links of one great chain.
In tones of deep affection,
"Our ways part here," we say,
Yet go in one direction
And in the selfsame way.
Then let us cease from weeping
And moderate our woe,
For we are in Christ's keeping
With whom we always go.
Thus under His protection
We're led by His sure hand,
And in the same direction
To the same Fatherland.
Then not to parting's sorrows
We dedicate this hour,
But to renew our union
With Christ, our rock and tow'r.
If faith in Him unite us,
Though parting gives us pain,
It cannot disunite us
For we in Him remain.
And break my very heart?
We're in the Saviour's keeping
And shall not therefore part.
No time nor place can sever
The bonds which us have bound;
In Christ abide forever,
Who once in Him were found.
As though to part forever
We press each other's hands;
And yet no pow'r can sever
Our love's eternal bands.
We look quite brokenhearted
And sob our last farewell,
And yet cannot be parted,
For we in Jesus dwell.
We say: "I here, you yonder;
You go and I remain,"
And yet are not asunder,
But links of one great chain.
In tones of deep affection,
"Our ways part here," we say,
Yet go in one direction
And in the selfsame way.
Then let us cease from weeping
And moderate our woe,
For we are in Christ's keeping
With whom we always go.
Thus under His protection
We're led by His sure hand,
And in the same direction
To the same Fatherland.
Then not to parting's sorrows
We dedicate this hour,
But to renew our union
With Christ, our rock and tow'r.
If faith in Him unite us,
Though parting gives us pain,
It cannot disunite us
For we in Him remain.
