| Text: | Christian Farewell |
| Author: | Doddridge |
Thy presence, ever living God!
Wide through all nature spreads abroad;
Thy watchful eyes, which never sleep,
In every place Thy children keep.
While near each other we remain,
Thou dost our lives and powers sustain;
When separate, we rejoice to share
Thy counsels, and Thy gracious care.
To Thee we now commit our ways,
And still implore Thy heavenly grace;
Still cause Thy face on us to shine,
And guard and guide us still as Thine.
Give us within Thy house to raise
Again united songs of praise;
Or, if that joy no more be known,
Give us to meet around Thy throne.
