Lyics

A PARTING hymn we sing

Around Thy table, Lord;

Again our grateful tribute bring,

Our solemn vows record.



Here have we seen Thy face,

And felt Thy presence here;

So may the savor of Thy grace

In word and life appear.



The purchase of Thy blood--

By sin no longer led--

The path our dear Redeemer trod

May we, rejoicing, tread.



In self-forgetting love

Be Christian union shown,

Until we join the Church above,

And know as we are known.
