109. Mizpah

1 Let us ask the precious Saviour
To go with us while we part,
For His presence in life’s journey
Peace and comfort will impart.

Refrain:
Long our hallowed pray’r will linger,
Mingling with sweet melody;
Be our wish at parting, “Mizpah,”
May the Lord keep watch over you and me.

2 Know we not what changes wait us,
But we know our mighty Guide,
Safe are we in His dear keeping,
Happy, when He walks beside. [Refrain]

3 In His tender hands entrusting
Ev’ry link in love’s bright chain;
‘Tis a blessed hope that whispers,
Surely we shall meet again. [Refrain]

4 Meet again, no more to sever,
In the “beautiful beyond,”
Where the love of our Redeemer
Is the strongest, sweetest bond. [Refrain]
