Of thy love some gracious token

Of thy love some gracious token
Grant us, Lord, before we go;
Bless the word which has besn spoken,
Life and peace on all bestow.
When we join the world again,
Let our hearts with thee remain;
O direct us!
O protect us,
Till we gain the heavenly shore,
Where thy people want no more!

Then, O Lord of mercy, hear us,
Guard our souls from every foe;
In all peril be thou near us,
In our weakness, strength bestow.
God of Israel, be our stay
While we tread life's rugged way;
Nor forsake us,
Till thou take us,
To thyself to dwell with thee,
Through a bright eternity.
