2 Before our Father's throne

We pour our ardent prayers;

Our comforts and our cares.

3 We share our mutual woes;

Our mutual burdens bear; And often for each other flows

The sympathizing tear.

4 When we asunder part,

It gives us inward pain;

Our courage by the way;

While each in expectation lives,

And longs to see the day.

6 From sorrow, toil, and pain,

And sin we shall be free;

And perfect love and friendship reign Through all eternity.

2 When each can feel his brother's sigh, And with him bear a part! When sorrow flows from every eye, And joy from heart to heart! 3 Let love in one delightful stream, Through every bosom flow;

1. WE love the place,

And union sweet, and dear esteem

In every action glow.

4 Love is the golden chain that binds The happy souls above;

And he's an heir of heaven who finds His bosom glow with love.

Joseph Swain (1761-1796)

We find Thy presence near.

4 We love Thy holy word, The lamp Thou gav'st to guide All wanderers home, O Lord, Home to their Father's side. 5 Then let us sing the love To us so freely given, Until we sing above

The triumph song of heaven!
