Once more we’ve heard the word divine
Have sung our songs devout;
May He who blessed our coming in
Now bless our going out.
Oh may the heav’nly Father’s love
The grace of God the Son
The Holy Spirit’s fellowship
Be with us every one.
As were the mountains round about
Jerusalem of old
So may His benediction dear
Our earthly lives enfold.
And when at last the evening comes
With life’s expiring breath
Oh
may this blessing go with us
Down thro’ the vale of death.
