  1. With the sweet word of peace
    We bid our brethren go;
    Peace as a river to increase
    And ceaseless flow.

  2. With the calm word of prayer
    We earnestly commend
    Our brethren to Thy watchful care,
    Eternal Friend!

  3. With the dear word of love
    We give our brief farewell;
    Our love below, and Thine above,
    With them shall dwell.

  4. With the strong word of faith
    We stay ourselves on Thee,
    That Thou, O Lord, in life and death
    Their help shalt be.

  5. Then the bright word of hope
    Shall on our parting gleam,
    And tell of joys beyond the scope
    Of earthborn dream.

  6. Farewell; in hope, and love,
    In faith, and peace, and prayer,
    Till He whose home is ours above
    Unite us there. Amen.
