| Peacefully, tenderly, Here, as we part, The farewell that lingers Be breathed from the heart: 310 No place more fitting, O house of the Lord— Here be it spoken, That last prayerful word. | | 2 Thoughtfully, carefully, Solemn and slow! Tears are bedewing The path that we go; Perils before us We know not to-day— Kindly and safely, O Lord, lead the way. | | 3 Upwardly, steadfastly, Gaze on that brow: Jesus, our Leader, Reigns conqueror now. His steps let us follow, His sufferings dare, Go up to glory, His blessedness share. | | 4 Patiently, cheerfully, Up, and depart To labor and duty With gladness of heart; The ransomed, with triumph, To Zion we’ll bring, Shouting salvation To Jesus, our King. | |
