THE CHURCH
CONGREGATIONAL HYMNS

(10.10.10. 10) R. C. H. 301

by JOHN ELLERTON, 1826-93.

Saviour, again to Thy dear Name we raise
“Peace I leave with you, my peace | give you". John14:27
Saviour, again to Thy dear Name we raise
With one accord our parting hymn of praise.
We stand to bless Thee ere our worship cease.
Then, lowly kneeling, wait Thy word of peace
Grant us Thy peace upon our homeward way.
With Thee began, with Thee shall end the day
Guard Thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame
That in this house have called upon Thy Name.
Grant us Thy peace through this approaching night
Turn Thou for us its darkness into light
From harm and danger keep Thy children free
For dark and light are both alike to Thee.
Grant us Thy peace throughout our earthly life
Our balm is sorrow, and our stay in strife,
Then, when Thy voice shall bid our conflict cease,
Call us, O Lord, to Thine eternal peace.
