A Parting Hymn Father in Heaven, to thee,
Guardian and friend,
Lowly the suppliant knee
Here would we bend!--
Blessing thee ere we part,
Each with a grateful heart,
For all thy love doth send--
Plenteous and free!
Thanks for thy hand outspread
Ever in power
O'er each defenceless head
In danger's hour!
Thanks for the light arid love,
From thy full fount above--
A rich and constant shower,
O'er us still shed!
Go thou with us, we pray,
Whom duties call
To our high tasks away,
Each one, and all,--
Go, with thy Spirit's might,
Go, with thy Gospel's light
--Whatever may befall--
With us alway
Now let thy blessing rest
On us anew--
Brother, and friend, and guest,
Tried ones and true--
Till, all Our pirtings o'er,
Meeting, to part no more,
In Heaven we renew
Friendships so blest - Mrs. J. C. Yule |
