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 I give you. John. 14:27
Saviour, again to Thy dear Name we raise
With one accord our parting hymn of praise,
We stand to bless the 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 through out our earthly life,
Our balm in sorrow, and our stay in strife:
Then, when Thy voice shall bid our conflict cease,
Call us, O Lord, to Thy eternal peace.
