5600. Part in Peace: Is Day Before Us?

1. Part in peace: is day before us?
Praise His name for life and light;
Are the shadows lengthening o’er us?
Bless His care who guards the night.

2. Part in peace: with deep thanksgiving,
Rendering, as we homeward tread,
Gracious service to the living,
Tranquil memory to the dead.

3. Part in peace: such are the praises
God our Maker loveth best;
Such the worship that upraises
Human hearts to heavenly rest.
