No seas again shall sever

Horatius Bonar • English

Primary Scripture: John 17:24

Verse 1

No seas again shall sever; No desert intervene; No deep, sad flowing river Shall roll its tide between.

Verse 2

No bleak cliffs upward towering, Shall bound our eager sight; No tempest darkly lowering, Shall wrap us in its night.

Verse 3

Love, and unsevered union, Of soul with those we love, Nearness and glad communion Shall be our joy above.

Verse 4

No dread of wasting sickness, No thought of ache or pain, No fretting hours of weakness, Shall mar our peace again.

Verse 5

No death our homes o’ershading, Shall e’er our harps unstring, For all is life unfading, In presence of our king.
