Hour of Parting

Author: Dr. T. G. Chattle Hymnal: The Christian Sunday School Hymnal #45 (1883) First Line: Gentle Savior, be thou near us Lyrics: 1 Gentle Savior, be thou near us, As we from each other part; May thy word, its truth impressing, Shed its light on every heart. 2 As the closing hour draws near us, And the night steals gently on, Let thy gracious presence cheer us, Guard us till the coming morn. 3 When the night of death comes o'er us, And our earthly prayers are o'er, O receive us home to glory, There to praise thee evermore. Scripture: Psalm 73:24 Tune Title: [Gentle Savior, be thou near us]
