1 From whence doth this union arise,
That hatred is conquered by love?
It fastens our souls with such ties,
That distance and time can’t remove.

2 It cannot in Eden be found,
Nor yet in paradise lost;
It grows on Immanuel’s ground,
And Jesus’ dear blood it did cost.

3 My friends now so dear unto me,
Our souls are united in love:
Where Jesus is gone we shall be,
In yonder blest mansions above.

4 Then why so unwilling to part,
Since there we shall meet again?
Engraved on Immanuel’s heart,
At distance we cannot remain.

5 With Jesus we ever shall reign,
And all His bright glory shall see,
And sing hallelujah, Amen,
Amen, even so let it be!
