Lyics

A 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.
