Author: Sarah Flower Adams, 1805-1848 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #411 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7 First Line: Part in peace! The day before us Lyrics: Part in peace! The day before us.
Praises sing for life and light.
Are the shadows length'ning o'er us?
Bless thy care who guards the night.
2 Part in peace! With deep thanksgiving,
rend'ring as we homeward tread,
love and service to the living,
gentle mem'ry to the dead.
3 Part in peace! Our voices raising,
in thy presence always be.
This the worship and the praising,
bringing peace to you and me.
