Closing Hymn.

Savior, again to thy dear name we raise

With one accord our parting hymn of praise;

We rise to bless thee ere our worship cease,

And now, departing, wait thy word of peace.

2 Grant us thy peace upon our homeward way;

With thee begun, 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.

3 Grant us thy peace, Lord, through the coming 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.

John Ellerton, 1868.
