1 “God bless you!” from the heart we sing,
God give to ev’ry one His grace,
Till He on high His ransomed bring
To dwell with Him in endless peace.
Refrain:
God bless you! God bless you!
Bless and keep us all in Jesus’ love,
And, when our partings here are over,
Take us to the joys above.
2 God bless you on your pilgrim way,
Thro’ storm and sunshine guiding still;
His presence guard you day by day,
And keep you safe from ev’ry ill. [Refrain]
3 God bless you in this world of strife,
When oft the soul would homeward fly,
And give the sweetness to your life,
Of waiting for the rest on high. [Refrain]
4 God bless you, and the patience give
To walk thro’ life by Jesus’ side;
For Him to bear, for Him to live,
And then with Him be glorified. [Refrain]
5 God bless us all, and give us rest
When Christ shall come and glory dawn;
Our sun is swinging t’ward the west,
Life’s little day will soon be gone. [Refrain]
