Lyics

FOR a season called to part,

Let us now ourselves commend

To the gracous eye and heart

Of our ever-present Friend.



Jesus, hear our humble pray'r;

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.
