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 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
Alternate verses:Grant us Thy peace, Lord, through the coming 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
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
