XXI. A Parting Blessing

1 Jesus, grant us all a blessing,
Send it down, Lord, from above;
May we all return home a praying,
And rejoicing in thy love.
Farewel, Brethren, farewel Sisters,
Till we all shall meet again.

2 Jesus, pardon all our follies,
Since together we have been;
Make us humble, make us holy,
Cleanse us all from ev'ry sin.
Farewel, Brethren, farewel Sisters,
Till we all shall meet above.

3 May thy blessing, Lord, go with us
To each one's respective home;
And the presence of our Jesus
Rest upon us ev'ry one.
Farewel, Brethren, farewel Sisters,
Till we all shall meet at home.
