Lyics

For a season call’d 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 we live, ere long

In thy peace to meet again.



Then, if thou thy help afford;

Ebenezers shall be rear’d;

And our souls shall praise the Lord,

Who our poor petitions heard.
