196. For a season called to part

1 For a season called to part,
Let us now ourselves commend
To the gracious eye and heart
Of our ever-present Friend.

2 Jesus, hear our humble prayer!
Tender Shepherd of Thy sheep!
Let Thy mercy and Thy care
All our souls in safety keep.

3 In Thy strength may we be strong,
Sweeten every cross and pain:
Give us, if we live, ere long
In Thy peace to meet again.

4 Then, if Thou Thy help afford,
Ebenezers shall be reared,
And our souls shall praise the Lord
Who our poor petitions heard.
