The Hymnal ‎#R45

R45. Father, give Thy benediction

Father, give Thy benediction,
Give Thy peace before we part:
Still our minds with truth's conviction,
Calm with trust each anxious heart.
Let Thy voice with sweet commanding,
Bid our grief and struggles end;
Peace which passeth understanding
On our waiting spirits send.

Amen.
