3. So, the days of conflict ended, In the mansions of the sky, Whither, Lord, Thou art ascended, With Thyself me _glorify_. Thomas Haweis, 1808, a. 15 7s Now may He who from the dead Brought the Shepherd of the sheep, Jesus Christ, our king and Head, All our souls in safety keep. 2. May He teach us to fulfil What is pleasing in His sight; Perfect us in all His will And preserve us day and night. 3. To that dear Redeemer’s praise, Who the covenant sealed with blood, Let our hearts and voices raise Loud thanksgivings to our God. John Newton, 1779. 16 10s Savior, again to Thy dear name we raise With one accord our parting hymn of praise; Once more we bless Thee ere our worship cease; Then, lowly bending, 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. J. Ellerton, 1866. 17 8, 7, 6 l Lord, dismiss us with Thy blessing, Fill our hearts with joy and peace. Let us each, Thy love possessing, Triumph in redeeming grace. |: O refresh us, :| Trav’ling through this wilderness. 2. Thanks we give and adoration For Thy Gospel’s joyful sound. May the fruits of Thy salvation In our hearts and lives abound: |: May Thy presence :| With us evermore be found. 3. So, whene’er the signal’s given Us from earth to call away, Borne on angels’ wings to heaven, Glad the summons to obey, |: May we, ready, :| Rise and reign in endless day. J. Fawcett, 1773. 18 8, 6, 8, 6, 8, 8 Lord of my life, whose tender care Hath led me on till now, Here lowly, at the hour of prayer, Before Thy throne I bow. I bless Thy gracious hand and pray Forgiveness for another day.
