For this sweet hour, O heav’nly King, To Thee our thanks, our praise, we bring; For this sweet hour, whose light has shone With beams reflected from Thy throne.

And now, dear Saviour, as we part, Impress Thy truth on every heart; And may this precious means of grace Incline us all to seek Thy face.

Control our thoughts, our footsteps guide; May peace henceforth in us abide; And may this holy Sabbath be A day’s march nearer, Lord, to Thee.
