- 1Once more before we part,
- We'll bless the Saviour's name;
- Record his mercies, every heart;
- Sing, every tongue, the same.
- 2Lord, in thy grace we came,
- Thy blessing still impart;
- We met in Jesus' sacred name,
- In Jesus' name we part.
- 3May we receive his word,
- And feed thereon, and grow;
- Go on to seek and know the Lord,
- And practice what we know.
- 4Soon shall we hear him say,
- "Ye blessed children, come!"
- Soon will he call us hence away
- To our eternal home.
- 5There shall each raptured tongue
- His endless praise proclaim,
- And sweeter voices tune the song
- Of Moses and the Lamb.
