GRH 621 Our Parting Blest by Christian Bonds

(1)
Friends of years with just one heart,
Must now say farewell and part;
Unsure when again we meet,
These last hours are more sweet.
May our loving God guide thee, guard thee,
Over hill and deep sea; One we’ll always be:
One in faith, one in hope, one in fellowship of love.

(2)
In life partings are our lot,
Yet, thank God, He leaves us not;
With Him we’ll not lonely fare,
For our deepest needs He’ll care.
May our loving God guide thee, guard thee,
Over hill and deep sea; One we’ll always be:
One in faith, one in hope, one in fellowship of love.

(3)
Jesus was a trav’ler too,
Partings, hardships, He well knew.
Fear not then to take the road,
He will share our ev’ry load.
May our loving God guide thee, guard thee,
Over hill and deep sea; One we’ll always be:
One in faith, one in hope, one in fellowship of love.
