To share each other’s joys and woes,
Together pray at dawn of light,
Together praise at evening’s close;
Each ready, when temptation lowers,
With gentle counsel, kindly aid;
Lord Jesus! let such lot be ours,
Oh, bless the tie which Thou hast made!
United “until death us part,”
Not death the Christian bond can sever;
Who love Thee here with faithful heart,
