When This Song of Praise Shall Cease

When this song of praise shall cease

Let Thy child­ren

Lord

de­part

With the bless­ing of Thy peace

And Thy love in ev­ery heart.

Oh

wher­e’er our path may lie

Father

let us not for­get

That we walk be­neath Thine eye

That Thy care up­holds us yet.

Blind are we

and weak

and frail;

Be Thine aid for­ev­er near;

May the fear to sin pre­vail

Over ev­ery oth­er fear.
