Hymn
Once More Before We Part
Once more before we part,
We'll bless the Saviour's name;
Record his mercies, every heart;
Sing, every tongue, the same.
Lord, in thy grace we came,
Thy blessing still impart;
We met in Jesus' sacred name,
In Jesus' name we part.
May we receive his word,
And feed thereon, and grow;
Go on to seek and know the Lord,
And practice what we know.
Soon shall we hear him say,
"Ye blessed children, come!"
Soon will he call us hence away
To our eternal home.
There shall each raptured tongue
His endless praise proclaim,
And sweeter voices tune the song
Of Moses and the Lamb.
