Hymn 574
With the sweet word of peace
Ọrọ alafia
- With the sweet word of peace
We bid our brethren go;
Peace as a river to increase
And ceaseless flow. - With the calm word of prayer
We earnestly commend
Our brethren to Thy watchful care,
Eternal Friend! - With the dear word of love
We give our brief farewell;
Our love below, and Thine above,
With them shall dwell. - With the strong word of faith
We stay ourselves on Thee,
That Thou, O Lord, in life and death
Their help shalt be. - Then the bright word of hope
Shall on our parting gleam,
And tell of joys beyond the scope
Of earthborn dream. - Farewell; in hope, and love,
In faith, and peace, and prayer,
Till He whose home is ours above
Unite us there. Amen.
