Tune: | [Let us ask the precious Saviour] |
Composer: | Wm. J. Kirkpatrick |
1 Let us ask the precious Saviour
To go with us while we part.
For his presence in life’s journey
Peace and comfort will impart.
Chorus:
Long our hallowed prayer will linger,
Mingling with sweet melody;
Be our wish at parting, “Mizpah,”
May the Lord keep watch over you and me.
2 Know we not what changes wait us,
But we know our mighty Guide,
Safe are we in his dear keeping,
Happy, when he walks beside. [Chorus]
3 In his tender hands entrusting
Ev’ry link in love’s bright chain;
‘Tis a blessed hope that whispers,
Surely we shall meet again. [Chorus]
4 Meet again, no more to sever,
In the “beautiful beyond,”
Where the love of our Redeemer
Is the strongest, sweetest bond. [Chorus]
