Tune: | SCHUMANN |
1 A parting hymn we sing
Around Thy table, Lord;
Again our grateful tribute bring,
Our solemn vows record.
2 Here have we seen Thy face,
And felt Thy presence here;
So may the savor of Thy grace,
In word and life appear.
3 The purchase of Thy blood,
By sin no longer led,
The path our dear Redeemer trod
May we rejoicing tread.
4 In self-forgetting love
Be our communion shown,
Until we join the Church above,
And know as we are known.
Amen.
