"No Separation"

A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in common meter)

Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

"No Separation"

1. Blest truth! the church and Christ are one,
In bonds the most secure:
No separation can be known,
While endless years endure.

2. No separation! is proclaim'd,
In God's unerring word:
Christ is not of His bride asham'd,
Then let her own her Lord.

3. No separation! cheers my heart,
And bids my fears subside;
My soul and Jesus cannot part,
For me He liv'd and died.

4. No separation! precious thought,
Then Christ is with me here;
And home to heaven I must be brought,
For Jesus Christ is there.

5. No separation! this decree
Of everlasting love,
Is fix'd by the ETERNAL THREE,
And never can remove.

 

Here is an example of the melody(in the church I attend we have used this melody for various songs) in a song that uses common meter(except we would use it at a somewhat slower pace):
