48. Now While We Sing Our Closing Psalm

Now while we sing our closing psalm,
With rev’rent lips and glowing heart,
May peace from out th’eternal calm
Rest on our spirits as we part.
May light, to guard us ev’ry hour,
From Thee, eternal Sun, descend:
And strength from Thee, Almighty Power,
Be with us now, and to the end!
