Ere from our gathering we're

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.
