Author: Newton Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #738 (1873) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 For a season called to part,
Let us now ourselves commend
To the gracious eye and heart
Of our ever-present Friend.
2 Jesus, hear our humble prayer,
Tender shepherd of thy sheep!
Let thy mercy and thy care
All our souls in safety keep.
3 In thy strength may we be strong;
Sweeten every cross and pain;
Give us, if we live, ere long
In thy peace to meet again.
4 Then, if thou thy help afford,
Ebenezers shall be reared;
And our souls shall praise the Lord,
Who our poor petitions heard. Topics: The Christian Family Changes; At Parting
