When the family compleat,
Borne on clouds, and girt with pow'r,

In the house above shall meet. 6 Master, haften on thy day!

Glorious to thy judgment comel
Call thy trav'ling saints away;

LORD, we long to be at home.

371. AT PARTING

Lest be the dear uniting love,

That will not let us part;
Our bodies may far off remove,

We still are join'd in heart.
2 Join'd in one Spirit to our Head,

Where he appoints we go,
And still in Jesu's footsteps tread,

And do his work below.
3
O let us ever walk in him,

And nothing know beside
Nothing desire, nothing esteem,

But Jesus crucify'd.
4 Closer and closer let us cleave

To his belov'd embrace,
Expect his fulness to receive,

And grace to answer grace.

5 Thus let us hasten to the day

Which shall our flesh restore,
When death shall all be done away,

And bodies part no more.

'ITH all thy pow'r, O LORD, defend
Him whom we now to I hee com-

mend;
Our faithful minifter secure,

And make him to the end endure.
2 Gird him with all-fufficient grace ;

Give to his footsteps paths of peace ;
Thy truth and faithfulness fulll ;

Preserve him, LORD, from ev'ry ill.
3 Before his face protection fend;

o love him, save him to the end :
Nor let him as thy pilgrim rove,

Without the convoy of thy love,
4 Enlarge, enflame, and fill his heart

In him thy mighty power exert ;
That thousands yet unborn may praise
The wonders of redeeming grace.
