Hymn 417

1FOR a season called to part,
Let us now ourselves commend
To the gracious eye and heart
Of our ever-present Friend.

2Jesus, hear our humble prayer ;
Tender Shepherd of thy sheep,
Let thy mercy and thy care
All our souls in safety keep.

3In the strength we may be strong ;
Sweeten every cross and pain ;
And our waiting lives prolong
Till we meet on earth again.
