Lyrics

Heavenly Fa­ther, we beseech Thee,
Grant Thy blessing ere we part;
Take us in Thy care and keeping,
Guard from evil every heart.

Refrain

Bless the words we here have spoken,
Offered prayer and cheerful strain;
If Thy will, O Lord, we pray Thee,
Grant we all may meet again.

Loving Sav­ior, go Thou with us,
Be our Comfort and our Stay;
Grateful praise to Thee we render
For the joy we feel today.

Refrain

Holy Spi­rit, dwell within us,
May our souls Thy temple be;
May we tread the path to glo­ry,
Led and guided still by Thee.

Refrain

Heavenly Fa­ther, loving Sav­ior,
Holy Spi­rit, Three in One,
As among Thy saints and angels,
So on earth Thy will be done.
