Lyrics

Now our hymns are end­ed,
All our songs are sung,
Willing praise we’ve ren­dered,
Every heart and tongue.

Refrain

Grant us all Thy bless­ing,
As Thy house we leave,
And Thy be­ne­dic­tion
May we all re­ceive;
Be with us and guide us,
Send Thy light be­fore,
Closely walk be­side us
Till we meet once more.

Everywhere sur­round­ed
By Thy lov­ing care,
May our faith be found­ed
On Thy pre­cepts fair.

Refrain

Thro’ earth’s joys and sad­ness,
Thro’ the day and night,
Fill us with Thy glad­ness,
Lead us with Thy light.
