Savious, Again to Your Dear Name
Saviour, again to your dear name we raise
With one accord our parting hymn of praise:
We join to bless you, ere our worship cease,
Then, in the silence, wait your word of peace.
Grant us your peace upon our homeward way;
With you began, with you shall end the day;
Guard all the lips from sin, the hearts from shame
That in this house have called upon your name.
Grant us your peace as day turns into night;
Stay with us till the coming of the light;
Keep safe all those who call upon your name,
For dark and light to you are both the same.
Grant us your peace throughout our earthly life,
Our balm in sorrow and our stay in strife;
Then, when your voice shall bid our conflict cease,
Call us, O God, to your eternal peace.
