Lyics

FOR a season called to part,

Let us now ourselves commend

To the gracious eye and heart

Of our ever-present Friend.



Jesus, hear our humble prayer;

Tender Shepherd of thy sheep,

Let thy mercy and thy care

All our souls in safety keep.



In thy strength may we be strong;

Sweeten every cross and pain;

Give us, if thou wilt, ere long

Here to meet in peace again.
