1 A PARTING hymn we sing

Around Thy table, Lord;

Again our grateful tribute bring,
Our solemn vows record.

2 Here have we seen Thy face,
And felt Thy presence here;
So may the savor of Thy grace
In word and life appear.

3 The purchase of Thy blood,
By sin no longer led,

The path our dear Redeemer trod
May we rejoicing tread.

4 In self-forgetting love.

Be our communion shown,
Until we join the Church above,

And know as we are known.

Aaron R. Wolfe 1858

By Christ re-deemed, in Christ re-stored, We keep the mem

ry a dored,

10 PERFECT Love, all human thought transcending,

Lowly we kneel in prayer before Thy throne,

That theirs may be the love which knows no ending,
Whom Thou for evermore dost join in one.

2 O perfect Life, be Thou their full assurance
Of tender charity and steadfast faith,
Of patient hope, and quiet, brave endurance,

With childlike trust that fears nor pain nor death.

3 Grant them the joy which brightens earthly sorrow;
Grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife,
And to life's day the glorious unknown morrow
That dawns upon eternal love and life.

Dorothy F. Blomfield, 1883
