It is good to be here.

LORD, when together here we meet, And taste thy heav'nly grace, Thy smiles are so divinely sweet, We're loth to leave the place.

But, Father, since it is thy will That we must part again, Oh, may thy special presence still With ev'ry one remain.

And let us all in Christ be one, Bound with the cords of love; Till we, before thy glorious throne, Shall joyful meet above,

All sin and sorrow from each heart Shall then forever fly; Nor shall a thought that we must part Once interrupt our joy.
