Lyics

MAY the grace of Christ our Saviour,

And the Father's boundless love,

With the holy Spirit's favor

Rest upon you from above:

Yes, forever,

Rest upon you from above.



So may we abide in union,

With each other and the Lord;

And possess, in sweet communion,

Joys which earth cannot afford:

Yes, forever,

Joys which earth cannot afford.



And whene'er the signal's given,

Us from earth to call away;

Borne on angel's wings to heaven,

Glad the summons to obey:

May we ready

Rise and reign in endless day.
