Lyics

Jesus, 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 forever,

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.
