Now from the world with­drawn,
For fel­low­ship with Thee;
May each, O Lord, be­fore Thy throne,
From earth­ly cares be free.

Possess our ev­ery thought,
And teach our minds to pray;
Help us to wor­ship as we ought,
And thus con­clude the day.

Our strength may we re­new,
And lift our hearts above;
That, while life’s jour­ney we pur­sue,
We still may walk in love.

Then, in our lat­ter end,
If death shall close our eyes,
Thy mercy will our souls at­tend,
And bear them to the skies.
