Tune:MERCY
Arranger:L. M. Gottschalk, 1829-1869

222. When this song of praise shall cease

1 When this song of praise shall cease,
Let Thy children, Lord, depart
With the blessing of Thy peace,
And Thy love in every heart.

2 Oh! where'er our path may lie,
Father, let us not forget
That we walk beneath Thine eye,
That Thy care upholds us yet.

3 Blind are we, and weak, and frail,
Be Thine aid for ever near;
May the fear to sin prevail
Over every other fear
