Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America ‎#283

283. Come with us, O blessed Jesus

Come with us, O blessed Jesus,
With us evermore to be;
And in leaving now thine altar,
Let us nevermore leave thee!
O let thine angel chorus
Cease not the heavenly strain,
But in us, thy loving children,
Bring peace, good will to men.

Amen.
