Text marked as lyrics
Savior, again to your dear name we raise with one accord our parting hymn of praise. We give you thanks before our worship cease, and now departing, wait your word of peace. Grant us your peace upon our homeward way; with you began, with you shall end the day. Guard now the lips from sin, the hearts from shame, that in this house have called upon your name. Grant us your peace, Lord, through the coming night; turn all our darkness to your perfect light. Then, while we sleep, our hope and strength renew, for dark and light are both alike to you. Grant us your peace throughout our earthly life: comfort in sorrow, courage in the strife. Then, when your voice shall make our conflict cease, call us, O Lord, to your eternal peace.
