2 We part in body, not in mind; Our minds continue one; And, each to each in Jesus joined, We hand in hand go on. 3 Present we still in spirit are, And intimately nigh, While on the wings of faith and prayer We each to other fly. 4 Our life is hid with Christ in God; Our life shall soon appear, And shed his glory all abroad In all his members here. 923. L. M. Doddridge. The Christian Farewell. 1 Thy presence, everlasting God! Wide o'er all nature spreads abroad: Thy watchful eyes, which cannot sleep, In every place thy children keep. 2 While near each other we remain, Thou dost our lives and souls sustain; When sep'rate, happy if we share Thy smiles, thy counsels, and thy care. 3 To thee we all our ways commit, And seek our comforts near thy feet; Still on our souls vouchsafe to shine, And guard and guide us still as thine. 4 Give us in thy beloved house, Again to pay our grateful vows; Or, if that joy no more be known, Give us to meet around thy throne. 924. 8s. & 7s. M. C. Wesley. Domestic Worship. 1 Peace be to this habitation; Peace to all that dwell therein; Peace, the earnest of salvation; Peace, the fruit of pardoned sin; Peace, that speaks the heavenly Giver; Peace, to worldly minds unknown; Peace divine, that lasts forever; Peace, that comes from God alone. 2 Jesus, Prince of Peace, be near us; Fix in all our hearts thy home; With thy gracious presence cheer us; Let thy sacred kingdom come; Raise to heaven our expectation, Give our favored souls to prove Glorious and complete salvation, In the realms of bliss above. 925. L. M. Doddridge & Merrick. The Same. Ps. 128. 1 Blest is the man who fears the Lord, And walks by his unerring word; Comfort and peace his days attend, And God will ever prove his friend. 2 To him who condescends to dwell With saints in their obscurest cell, Be our domestic altars raised, And daily let his name be praised. 3 To him may each assembled house Present their night and morning vows; And children of the rising race Be taught his precepts and his grace. 4 When nature droops, our aged eyes Shall see our children's children rise; Till pleased and thankful we remove, And join the family above. 926. L. M. Scott. Family Religion. 1 Where'er the Lord shall build my house, An altar to his name I'll raise; There, morn and evening, shall ascend The sacrifice of prayer and praise. 2 With duteous mind, the social band Shall search the records of thy law; There learn thy will, and humbly bow With filial reverence and awe.
