| 1 | Ere we depart, we praise Thee, Lord, again |
| | For Thy dear presence and Thy living word; |
| | We are attracted by Thy preciousness, |
| | Our hearts incline to Thee through what weve heard. |
| 2 | Thy word is spirit and is life to us, |
| | By it were nourished, growing, Lord, in Thee; |
| | Thus to Thine image we may be transformed, |
| | With Thy full measure to maturity. |
| 3 | Impart Thyself to us, Lord, more and more, |
| | And make us in the spirit walk and move, |
| | That we be kept in fellowship with Thee, |
| | Until we meet again, Thy grace to prove. |
