For a season called to part,
Let us now ourselves commend;
To the gracious eye and heart
Of our ever-present friend.
Jesus, hear our humble prayer;
Tender Shepherd of thy sheep;
Let thy mercy and thy care
All our souls in safety keep.
In thy strength may we be strong;
Sweeten every cross and pain;
Give us, if we live, ere long
Here to meet in peace again.
Then if thou thy help afford,
Ebenezers shall be reared ;
And our souls shall praise the Lord,
Who our poor petitions heard.
---Alternative verses---
In thy strength may we be strong;
Sweeten every cross and pain;
And our wasting lives prolong,
Till we hope to meet again.
