And, in His temple,
May we meet again. Tune Title: [As we are parting, May God go with you]

A Welcome to Christian Friends—At Meeting
Once more to Bethany,
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #135 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Parting of Christian friends Lyrics:
Once more to Bethany,--once more
His little flock the Saviour led;
And while their hearts and eyes ran o'er,
These were the gracious words He said:--
"Go into all the world;--proclaim
Pardon throughout the rebel-host;
Baptize believers in the name
Of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
"Power shall be given you from on high;
The Father's promise I will send;
But tarry, for the hour is nigh;
Lo! I am with you to the end."
Thus while He blesséd them, they saw
A cloud that caught Him from their view;
The heavens received Him;--dumb with awe,
They gaz'd, they worshipp'd, and withdrew.
Such was that parting;--here we meet
In fellowship of Christian love,
And sit as at our Master's feet,
And hear Him speaking from above.
Lord Jesus! so Thy servants teach,
That when we from each other part,
Our lips and lives to all may preach
Thy gospel graven on our heart.

How sweet the hour of closing day
Author: Bathurst Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #893 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian's Parting Hour Lyrics: 1 How sweet the hour of closing day,
When all is peaceful and serene,
And when the sun, with cloudless ray,
Sheds mellow luster o'er the scene!
2 Such is the Christian's parting hour;
So peacefully he sinks to rest;
When faith, endued from heaven with power,
Sustains and cheers his languid breast.
3 Mark but that radiance of his eye,
That smile upon his wasted cheek:
They tell us of his glory nigh,
In language that no tongue can speak.
4 A beam from heaven is sent to cheer
The pilgrim on his gloomy road;
And angels are attending near,
To bear him to their bright abode.
5 Who would not wish to die like those
Whom God's own Spirit deigns to bless,
To sink into that soft repose,
Then wake to perfect happiness?
How sweet the hour of closing day
Through thee we now together came

To different climes repair!
Inseparably join'd in heart
The friends of Jesus are!
2 Jesus the corner-stone,
Did first our hearts unite!
And still he keeps our spirits one,
Who walk with him in white.
3 O let us still proceed
In Jesu's work below;
And, following our triumphant Head,
To farther conquests go.
4 The vineyard of the Lord
Before his labourers lies;
And lo! we see the vast reward,
Which waits us in the skies!
5 O let our heart and mind
Continually ascend,
That haven of repose to find,
Where all our labours end!
6 Where all our toils are o’er,
Our suffering and our pain!
Who meet on that eternal shore,
Shall never part again.
7 O happy, happy place,
Where saints and angels meet!
There we shall see each other’s face,
And all our brethren greet.
8 The church of the first-born,
We shall with them be blest,
And, crown'd with endless joy, return
To our eternal rest.
9 With joy we shall behold,
In yonder blest abode,
The patriarchs and prophets old,
And all the saints of God.
10 Abraham and Isaac there,
and Jacob shall receive
The followers of their faith and prayer,
who now in bodies live.
11 We shall our time beneath
Live out in cheerful hope,
And fearless pass the vale of death,
And gain the mountain-top.
12 To gather home his own
God shall his angels send,
And bid our bliss on earth begun
In deathless triumphs end. Languages: English
And let our bodies part
And let our bodies part
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #649 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Meeting and parting of Christian friends Lyrics: 1 And let our bodies part,
To different climes repair;
Inseparably join'd in heart
The friends of Jesus are!
2 Jesus, the corner stone,
Did first our hearts unite!
And still he keeps our spirits one,
Who walk with him in white.
3 O let us still proceed
In Jesus’ work below;
And, following our triumphant Head,
To further conquests go.
4 The vineyard of the Lord
Before his lab'rers lies;
And lo! we see the vast reward
Which waits us in the skies!
5 O let our heart and mind
Continually ascend;
That heaven of repose to find,
Where all our labours end.
6 Where all our toils are o’er,
Our suff'rings and our pain;
Who meet on that eternal shore
Shall never part again.
7 O happy, happy place,
Where saints and angels meet;
There we shall see each other’s face,
And all our brethren greet.
8 To gather home his own,
God shall his angels send
And bid our bliss, on earth begun,
In deathless triumphs end.
And let our bodies part
