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;
Perils before us we know not today,
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 sufferings dare,
Go up to glory, his blessedness share.
