Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. Heav’nly Father, we beseach thee, Grant thy blessings 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.
