Representative Text

Father O hear us,
In Thy love be near us;
Thy light shall cheer us,
Hear our parting song.
Thou our Defender,
Mighty, yet so tender;
Praise would we render,
Hear our parting song.
In this the hour when we must part,
O keep Thou watch between us.
Till we meet, till we meet,
Till we meet at Jesus’ feet,
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again.
