LyicsPeacefully, tenderly, here, as we part,
The farewell that lingers be breathed from the heart:
No place more fitting,
O house of the Lord-
Here be it spoken, that last prayerful word.
Thoughtfully, carefully, solemn and slow!
Tears are bedewing the path that we go!
Per-ils be-fore us we know not to-day-
Kindly and safely, O Lord, lead the way.
Upwardly, steadfastly, gaze on that brow:
Jesus, our Leader, reigns conqueror now;
His steps let us follow, his suffering dare,
Go up to glory, his blessedness share.
Patiently, cheerfully, up, and depart
To labor and duty, with gladness of heart;
The ransomed, with triumph, to Zion we'll bring,
Shouting salvation to Jesus, our King.
