Once more we’ve heard the word di­vine,
Have sung our songs de­vout;
May He who blessed our com­ing in,
Now bless our go­ing out.

Refrain

Oh may the heav’n­ly Fa­ther’s love,
The grace of God the Son,
The Ho­ly Spir­it’s fel­low­ship
Be with us ev­ery one.

As were the mount­ains round about
Jerusalem of old,
So may His be­ne­dic­tion dear
Our earth­ly lives en­fold.

Refrain

And when at last the ev­en­ing comes
With life’s ex­pir­ing breath,
Oh, may this bless­ing go with us
Down thro’ the vale of death.

Refrain
