Once more before we part

1

Once more before we part,We'll bless the Saviour's name;Record his mercies, every heart;Sing, every tongue, the same.

2

Lord, in thy grace we came,Thy blessing still impart;We met in Jesus' sacred name,In Jesus' name we part.

3

May we receive his word,And feed thereon, and grow;Go on to seek and know the Lord,And practice what we know.

4

Soon shall we hear him say,"Ye blessed children, come!"Soon will he call us hence awayTo our eternal home.

5

There shall each raptured tongueHis endless praise proclaim,And sweeter voices tune the songOf Moses and the Lamb.
