S. M.
Absent in the flesh—present in the spirit.
And let our bodies part,
To different climes repair;
Still and for ever joined in heart
The friends of Jesus are.
2 O let us still proceed
In Jesus’ work below;
And following our triumphant Head,
To further conquests go.
3 O let our heart and mind,
Great God, to thee ascend,
That haven of repose to find,
Where all our labors end;
4 Where all our toils are o’er,
Our suffering and our pain:
Who meet on that eternal shore
Shall never part again.
