- 1A parting hymn we sing,
- Around thy table, Lord;
- Again our grateful tribute bring,
- Our solemn vows record.
- 2Here have we seen thy face,
- And felt thy presence here;
- So may the savor of thy grace
- In word and life appear.
- 3The purchase of thy blood,
- By sin no longer led,
- The path our dear Redeemer trod
- May we rejoicing tread.
- 4In self-forgetting love
- Be our communion shown
- Until we join the church above,
- And know as we are known.
