LyicsA PARTING hymn we sing,
Around thy table, Lord;
Again our grateful tribute bring,
Our solemn vows record.
Here have we seen thy face,
And felt thy presence here;
So may the savor of thy grace
In word and life appear.
The purchase of thy blood-
By sin no longer led-
The path our dear Redeemer trod
May we rejoicing tread.
In self-forgetting love
Be Christian union shown,
Until we join the Church above,
And know as we are known.
