1 Lord, let thy blessing rest in peace
Upon us ere we part,
Nor let that blessing ever cease
To cheer the contrite heart.

2 Let us go hence in deepest thought
Upon thy bounteous love
To find how much that love has wrought
To lift our souls above.

3 We go from out these hallowed walls
To toil in wearying care,
To seek supply for daily calls,
And daily burdens bear.

4 Cheer us, blest Lord, for daily tasks,
That we may love and live;
For peace each saint in parting asks,
The peace that Christ can give.
