Hymn 932
With the sweet word of peace
Meter: S.M.
Scripture: II Thess. 3:16
1
With the sweet word of peace
We bid our brethren go;
Peace, as a river, to increase
And ceaseless flow.
2
With the calm word of pray’r
We earnestly commend
Our brethren to Thy watchful care,
Eternal Friend!
3
With the dear word of love
We give our brief farewell;
Our love below, and Thine above,
With them shall dwell.
4
With the strong word of faith
We stay ourselves on Thee;
That Thou, O Lord, in life and death
Their help shall be.
5
Then the bright word of hope
Shall on our parting gleam,
And tell of joys beyond the scope
Of earth-born dream.
6
Farewell; in hope, and love,
In faith, and peace, and prayer,
Till He whose home is ours above
Unite us there.
