Part in Peace: Is Day Before Us?

Part in peace! is day be­fore us?

Praise His name for life and light;

Are the sha­dows length­en­ing o’er us?

Bless His care who guards the night.

Part in peace! with deep thanks­giv­ing

Rendering

as we home­ward tread

Gracious serv­ice to the liv­ing

Tranquil me­mo­ry to the dead.

Part in peace! such are the prais­es

God our mak­er lov­eth best;

Such the wor­ship that up­raises

Human hearts to heav­en­ly rest.
