(Sequenced by D. W. Deacon)		 1. Hail, sweetest, dearest tie,
That binds our hearts in thine,
Hail sweet hope that tunes
Our minds, to harmony divine.
It is the hope, the blissful hope,
Which Jesus' grace has given,
The hope, when days and years are past,
We all shall meet in heaven.

2. What tho' the northern wintry blast,
Shall howl around thy cot,
What tho' beneath an Eastenr sky,
Be cast our distant lot,
Yet still we share the blissful hope,
Which Jesus' grace has given,
The hope, when days and years are past,
We all shall meet in heaven.

 3. From Burma's shores, from Afric's strand,
From India's burning plain,
From Europe, from Columbia's land,
We hope to meet again,
It is the hope, the blissful hope,
Which Jesus' grace has given,
The hope, when days and years are past,
We all shall meet in heaven.

4. No lingering look, no parting sigh,
Our future meeting knows,
There friendship beams from every eye,
And hope immortal glows,
O sacred hope, O blissful hope,
Which Jesus' grace has given,
The hope, when days and years are past,
We all shall meet in heaven.
