Since we are call'd to part
From our beloved friend,
We take our leave as one in heart,
And him to God commend.
Go with thy servant, Lord,
His ev’ry step attend;
All needful help to him afford,
And bless him to the end.
Preserve him from all wrong,
Stand thou at his right hand;
To keep him from the sland’rous tongue,
And 'persecuting band.
May he proclaim aloud
The wonders of thy grace;
And do thou to the list’ning crowd
His faithful labors bless.
Shine on his works below,
With ever gracious beams;
Till thou in heaven his crown bestow
Adorn’d with brighter gems.
We for his journey pray.
Nor may our prayers cease,
That God would bless him in his way,
And bring him back in peace.
Farewell, dear pastor, go—
We part with thee in love;
And if we meet no more below,
O may we meet above.
