For a season called to part

1

For a season called to part,Let us now ourselves commendTo the gracious eye and heartOf our ever-present Friend.

2

Jesus, hear our humble prayer;Tender Shepherd of thy sheep,Let thy mercy and thy careAll our souls in safety keep.

3

In thy strength may we be strongSweeten every cross and pain,And our wasting lives prolongTill we meet on earth again.

4

Then if thou thy help afford,Joyful songs to thee shall rise,And our souls shall praise the Lord,Who regards our humble cries.
