Author: John Ellerton, 1826-1893 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #825 (1997) Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: Saviour, again to your dear name we raise Lyrics: 1 Saviour, again to your dear name we raise
with one accord our parting hymn of praise:
we join to bless you, ere our worship cease,
then, in this silence, wait your word of peace.
2 Grant us your peace upon our homeward way;
with you began, with you shall end the day.
guard all the lips from sin, the hearts from shame
that in this house have called upon your name.
3 Grant us your peace, as day turns into night;
stay with us till the coming of the light;
keep safe all those who call upon our name,
for dark and light to you are both the same.
4 Grant us your peace throughout our earthly life,
our balm in sorrow, and our stay in strife;
then, when your voice shall bid our conflict cease,
call us, O God, to your eternal peace. Topics: Evening; God Guardian / Help; Peace; Worship Scripture: Luke 24:13-55 Languages: English Tune Title: ELLERS
