LyicsFor 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.
