Representative Text

1 Now as we part, and heart to heart,
Our kind goodbyes repeat,
Dear Father bless with tenderness,
Each one, until we meet!

Refrain:
Until we meet again,
Be with us, Lord, we pray;
The Lord keep watch ‘tween thee and me,
And guard us day by day!

2 Lord, keep us true in all we do,
Wherever we may be,
And through the week, oh, may we seek,
To please and honor Thee! [Refrain]

3 Be ours the cross, the gain or loss,
The triumph or defeat,
Oh grant us grace, each in our place,
Until again we meet! [Refrain]

4 To do Thy will through good or ill,
No matter how, nor when
This be our aim in Jesus’ name,
Until we meet again! [Refrain]
