EN 5336 With the Sweet Word of Peace
2Thess.3.16
Versi Version 1
1
With the sweet word of peace
We bid our brethren go;
Peace as a river to increase,
And ceaseless flow.
2
With the calm word of prayer
We earnestly commend
Our brethren to Thy watchful care,
Eternal Friend!
3
With the dear word of love
We give our brief farewell;
Our love below, and Thine above
With them shall dwell.
4
With the strong word of faith
We stay ourselves on Thee,
That Thou, O Lord, in life and death
Their help shalt be!
5
Then the bright word of hope
Shall on our parting gleam,
And tell of joys beyond the scope
Of earth-born dream.
6
Farewell! in hope and love,
In faith and peace and prayer,
Till He Whose home is ours above
Unite us there!
