Gracious God, ere we part

Representative Text

1 Gracious God, ere we part
Give us thy Spirit,
And as children of thine
May we inherit
That land of light and joy
Where sin can ne'er annoy,
And peace without alloy
Reigneth forever.

2 There shall saints ever dwell,
Free from all sorrow,
In that home of delight,
On that blest morrow.
Lord fill us with thy grace,
And give us each a place,
Where we may see thy face,
Glorified ever.
