Savior, again to Thy dear name we raise
With one ac­cord our part­ing hymn of praise;
We stand to bless Thee ere our wor­ship cease;
Then, low­ly kneel­ing, wait Thy word of peace.

Grant us Thy peace up­on our home­ward way;
With Thee be­gan, with Thee shall end the day.
Guard thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame,
That in this house have called up­on Thy name.

Grant us Thy peace, through this ap­proach­ing night;
Turn Thou for us its dark­ness in­to light;
From harm and dan­ger keep Thy child­ren free,
For dark and light are both alike to Thee.

Grant us Thy peace—the peace Thou didst be­stow
On Thine apos­tles in Thine hour of woe;
The peace Thou brought­est, when at ev­en­tide
They saw Thy pierc­èd hands, Thy wound­ed side.

Grant us Thy peace through­out our earth­ly life;
Peace to Thy church from er­ror and from strife;
Peace to our land, the fruit of truth and love;
Peace in each heart, Thy Spir­it from above.

Thy peace in life, the balm of ev­ery pain;
Thy peace in death, the hope to rise again;
Then, when Thy voice shall bid our con­flict cease,
Call us, O Lord, to Thine eter­nal peace.
