(139) Plea for Parting Blessing.

God of our salvation! hear us;

Bless, oh, bless us, ere we go;

When we join the world, be near us,

Lest we cold and careless grow.

Savior! keep us;

Keep us safe from every foe.

2 As our steps are drawing nearer

To our everlasting home,

May our view of heaven grow clearer,

Hope more bright of joys to come;

And, when dying,

May thy presence cheer the gloom.

Thomas Kelly, 1809.
