| 1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. ***alt verses
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Grant us Thy peace
throughout our earthly life,
Our balm in sorrow,
and our stay in strife;
Then, when Thy voice shall bid
our conflict cease,
Call us, O Lord,
to Thine eternal peace.
