Author: John Ellerton, 1826-1893 Hymnal: Hymns for a Pilgrim People #575 (2007) Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: Savior, again to Thy dear name we raise Lyrics: 1 Savior, 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.
2 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.
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.
4 Grant us Thy peace throughout 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 Thine eternal peace. Topics: Blessing; Close of Worship / Sending Forth; Prayer / Petition; Service Music Scripture: Psalm 29:11 Languages: English Tune Title: ELLERS
