8426. Go With Thy Servant, Lord

1 Go with Thy servant, Lord,
His every step attend;
All needful help to him afford,
And bless him to the end.

2 Preserve him from all wrong;
Stand Thou at his right hand:
And keep him from the slanderous tongue
And persecuting band.

3 May he proclaim aloud
The wonders of Thy grace;
And do Thou to the listening crowd,
His faithful labors bless.

4 Farewell, dear laborer, go;
We part with thee in love;
And if we meet no more below,
O may we meet above.
