Laudes Domini ‎#214

214. Parting blessing

1 Saviour, now the day is ending,
And the shades of evening fall,
Let thy Holy Dove descending,
Bring thy mercy to us all;
Set thy seal on every heart,
Jesus, bless us ere we part!

2 Bless the gospel message spoken,
In thine own appointed way;
Give each fainting soul a token
Of thy tender love to-day:
Set thy seal on every heart,
Jesus, bless us ere we part!

3 Comfort those in pain or sorrow,
Watch each sleeping child of thine;
Let us all arise to-morrow,
Strengthened by thy grace divine;
Set thy seal on every heart,
Jesus, bless us ere we part!

4 Pardon thou each deed unholy;
Lord, forgive each sinful thought;
Make us contrite, pure, and lowly,
By thy great example taught:
Set thy seal on every heart,
Jesus, bless us ere we part!
