193b. Jesus, grant us all a blessing

1.
Jesus, grant us all a blessing,
Send it down, Lord, from above;
May we all return home praying,
And rejoicing in thy love:
Farewell, brethren; farewell sisters,
Till we all shall meet again.

2.
Jesus, pardon all our follies,
Since together we have been;
Make us humble, make us holy,
Cleanse us all from every sin:
Farewell, brethren; farewell, sisters,
Till we all shall meet above.

3.
May thy blessing, Lord, go with us
To each one's respective home;
And the presence of our Jesus
Rest upon us every one:
Farewell, brethren; farewell, sisters,
Till we all shall meet at home.
