LyicsJesus, grant us all a blessing,
Send it down now from above,
Let us all go home with praising,
And rejoicing in thy love;
Farewell brethren:
Soon we all shall meet above.
Saviour, pardon all our folly,
Since we've in thy presence been,
Make us humble, make us holy,
Make us free from ev'ry sin,
Farewell brethren,
Soon we all shall meet again.
Let thy presence, Lord, go with us,
To each one's respective home,
Let the blessing of our Jesus
Rest upon us every one;
Farewell brethren,
Soon we all shall meet at home.
Then we'll sing and shout for ever,
Then will parting be no more;
Then, O then we'll rest together,
On that fair and happy shore:
Farewell brethren,
Soon we'll meet and part no more.
