Savior, again to Thy
dear Name we raise
With one accord our
parting hymn of
praise;
We stand to bless Thee
ere our worship cease;
Then, lowly kneeling,
wait Thy word of
peace.
Grant us Thy
peace upon our
homeward way;
With Thee began, with
Thee shall end the
day.
Guard thou the lips
from sin, the hearts
from shame,
That in this house
have called upon Thy
Name.
Grant us Thy peace,
through this
approaching night;
Turn Thou for us its
darkness into light;
From harm and danger
keep Thy children
free,
For dark and light are
both alike to Thee.
Grant us Thy
peace—the peace Thou
didst bestow
On Thine Apostles in
Thine hour of woe;
The peace Thou
broughtest, when at
eventide
They saw Thy piercèd
hands, Thy wounded
side.
Grant us Thy peace
throughout our earthly
life;
Peace to Thy church
from error and from
strife;
Peace to our land, the
fruit of truth and
love;
Peace in each heart,
Thy Spirit from above.
Thy peace in life,
the balm of every
pain;
Thy peace in death,
the hope to rise
again;
Then, when Thy voice
shall bid our conflict
cease,
Call us, O Lord, to
Thine eternal peace.
Father, once more
before we part, we
raise
With one accord our
parting hymn of
praise:
Once more we bless
Thee, ere our songs
shall cease,
Then, lowly kneeling,
pray Thee for Thy
peace.
Grant us Thy
peace, Lord, through
the coming night,
Turn Thou for us its
darkness into light.
From harm and danger,
fear and shame kept
free,
For dark and light are
both alike to Thee.
