Published in “New Church Hymn Book”, Shaw, 1874

1  Saviour, again to Thy dear name we raise
With one accord our parting hymn of praise;
We stand to bless Thee ere our worship cease,
Then, lowly kneeling, wait Thy word of peace.
     
2  Grant us Thy peace upon our homeward way;
With Thee began, with Thee shall end our day;
Guard Thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame,
That in this house have called upon Thy name.
     
3 Grant us Thy peace, Lord, through the coming night,
Turn Thou for us its darkness into light;
From harm and danger keep Thy children free,
For dark and light are both alike to Thee.
     
4  Grant us Thy peace throughout our earthly life,
Our balm in sorrow, and our stay in strife;
Then, when Thy voice shall bid our conflict cease,
Call us, O Lord, to Thine eternal peace.
     
    John Ellerton, 1826 - 93.
