|  | 1. | Ere from our gathering we're | 
|  |  | dismissed, dear Lord, | 
|  |  | We sing again to thank Thee from our | 
|  |  | heart, | 
|  |  | For Thy dear presence and refreshing | 
|  |  | grace, | 
|  |  | Which Thou so richly didst to us | 
|  |  | impart. | 
|  | 2. | Though now the meeting's over, in Thy | 
|  |  | grace, | 
|  |  | Thy presence never will from us | 
|  |  | depart; | 
|  |  | But as the Spirit Thy sustaining | 
|  |  | strength | 
|  |  | Thou wouldst in love unceasingly | 
|  |  | impart. | 
|  | 3. | Lord, may Thy presence go with us, we | 
|  |  | pray, | 
|  |  | To bear with us the burden on our | 
|  |  | heart, | 
|  |  | That every moment we Thyself enjoy, | 
|  |  | Till in the coming meeting we take | 
|  |  | part. |
