Now While We Sing Our Closing Psalm
Author: Samuel Longfellow Hymnal: The Praise Book #48 (1906) Topics: Parting Hymns Lyrics: Now while we sing our closing psalm,
With rev’rent lips and glowing heart,
May peace from out th’eternal calm
Rest on our spirits as we part.
May light, to guard us ev’ry hour,
From Thee, eternal Sun, descend:
And strength from Thee, Almighty Power,
Be with us now, and to the end! Tune Title: [Now while we sing our closing psalm]

Lord, at this closing hour
Author: Eleazar T. Fitch Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #63 (1899) Topics: Parting Lyrics: 1 Lord, at this closing hour,

Upon Thy Word of truth and power,

And seek our rest above.

Till we its glory view.

Blest Be the Tie That Binds
Author: John Fawcett Hymnal: Worship in Song #331 (1996) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Parting Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.
2 Before our *Father's throne
We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
Our comforts and our cares.
3 We share each other's woes,
Each other's burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
4 When we are called to part,
It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again.

1 Béni soit le lien
qui nous unit en Christ,
le saint amour, l'amour divin
que verse en nous l'Esprit!
2 Au ciel, vers notre Dieu,
avec joie et ferveur,
s'élèvent nos chants et nos vœux,
parfum doux au Seigneur.
3 Nous mettons en commun
nos fardeaux, nos labeurs;
en Jésus nous ne sommes qu'un
dans la joie et les pleurs!
4 Si nous devons bientôt
quitter ces lieux bénis,
nous nous retrouverons là-haut,
pour toujours réunis.

We gather here to bid farewell
Author: Margaret Clarkson, 1915- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #614 (1997) Topics: Farewell / Parting Lyrics: 1 We gather here to bid farewell
to friends who leave for other parts;
our prayers we pledge, our love we tell,
and lift to God our grateful hearts.
2 We bless the hand that brought you here
and richly blest us all in you:
as now you leave for wider sphere
God's covenant mercies we review.
3 In friendship's bonds our souls unite
in prayer and praise and holy vow:
to God's great heart of love and light
your kin in Christ commit you now,

we meet before the throne at length,
God guide you, keep you, lead you on
from hope to hope, from strength to strength. Scripture: Numbers 6:24 Languages: English Tune Title: MORNING HYMN
We gather here to bid farewell
Kindred in Christ, for his dear sake
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #647 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Meeting and parting of Christian friends Lyrics: 1 Kindred in Christ, for his dear sake,
A hearty welcome here receive:
May we together now partake
The joys which only he can give.
2 To you and us by grace 'tis given
To know the Saviour's precious name;
And shortly we shall meet in heaven,
Our hope, our way, our end, the same.
3 May he, by whose kind care we meet,
Send his good Spirit from above,
Make our communications sweet,
And cause our hearts to burn with love!
4 Forgotten be each worldly theme,
When Christians see each other thus;
We only wish to speak of him,
Who liv'd, and died, and reigns for us.
5 We'll talk of all he did, and said,
And suffer'd for us here below;
The path he mark'd for us to tread,
And what he's doing for us now.
6 Thus, as the moments pass away,
We'll love, and wonder, and adore;
And hasten on the glorious day,
When we shall meet to part no more.
Kindred in Christ, for his dear sake
