1. Heav'nly Father, we beseech Thee,
Grant Thy blessing ere we part;
Take us in Thy care and keeping,
Guard from evil ev'ry heart.
Bless the words we here have spoken,
Offered prayer and cheerful strain;
If Thy will, O Lord, we pray thee,
Grant we all may meet again.

2. Loving Savior, go Thou with us,
Be our comfort and our stay;
Grateful praise to Thee we render,
For the joy we feel today.
Bless the words we here have spoken,
Offered prayer and cheerful strain;
If Thy will, O Lord, we pray thee,
Grant we all may meet again.

3. Holy Spirit, dwell within us,
May our souls Thy temple be;
May we tread the path to glory,
Led and guided still by Thee.
Bless the words we here have spoken,
Offered prayer and cheerful strain;
If Thy will, O Lord, we pray thee,
Grant we all may meet again.

4. Heav'nly Father, Loving Savior,
Holy Spirit, Three in One;
As among Thy saints and angels,
So on earth, Thy will be done.
Bless the words we here have spoken,
Offered prayer and cheerful strain;
If Thy will, O Lord, we pray thee,
Grant we all may meet again.
