BLEST be the dear uniting love,
   That will not let us part;
Our presence may far off remove,
    We still are one in heart.
 
2  Joined in one Spirit to our Head,
    Where He appoints we go;
And still in Jesus’ footsteps tread,
    And show His praise below.
 
3  O may we ever walk in Him,
    And nothing know beside,
Nothing desire, and naught esteem,
    But Jesus crucified!
 
4  Partakers of the Saviour’s grace,
    The same in mind and heart,
Nor joy, nor grief, nor time, nor place,
    Nor life, nor death can part.
 
5  So let us hasten to the Day
    Which shall our bond restore,
When death shall all be done away,
    And we shall part no more.
 
Charles Wesley, 1707-88
