“WHERE PARTING IS NO MORE.”
Parting never more?
Tell me, ye in Heaven,
Is perpetual rest
To your nature given?
Is your holy mission
Still eternal love?
Then there's work for angels
In that world above!
Tell me, ye in Heaven,
Is perpetual rest
To your nature given?
Is your holy mission
Still eternal love?
Then there's work for angels
In that world above!
When the soul hath parted,
Freer yet to soar
'Midst the angel-hearted,
Shall it strive no more?
Is it not extending
Love's celestial aim?
High, as it's ascending,
Higher is God's claim.
Freer yet to soar
'Midst the angel-hearted,
Shall it strive no more?
Is it not extending
Love's celestial aim?
High, as it's ascending,
Higher is God's claim.

In the bowers of Eden
There is “Parting” still;
Missions of sweet mercy,
Heralds of His will:
Partings—yes, and Meetings;—
And, though blessings flow,
There is work for angels—
As the angels know!
There is “Parting” still;
Missions of sweet mercy,
Heralds of His will:
Partings—yes, and Meetings;—
And, though blessings flow,
There is work for angels—
As the angels know!
