When this song of praise shall cease

When this song of praise shall cease,
Let Thy children, Lord, depart
With the blessing of Thy peace,
And Thy love in every heart.

O where’er our path may lie,
Father, let us not forget
That we walk beneath Thine eye,
That Thy care upholds us yet.

Blind are we, and weak, and frail;
Be Thine aid forever near;
May the fear to sin prevail
Over every other fear.
