Lyics

God of our salvation, hear us;

Bless, O bless us, ere we go;

When we join the world, be near us,

Lest we cold and careless grow;

Saviour, keep us,--

Keep us safe from every foe.



As our steps are drawing nearer

To the place we call our home,

May our view of heaven grow clearer,

Hope more bright of joys to come;

And when dying,

May thy presence cheer the gloom.
