Slaver, again to thy dear name we raise, With monochrome the parting hymn of praise. Guard thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame, That in these paths hath called upon thy name. Grant us thy peace, Lord, through the coming light, Turn the whole world since darkness into light. Proclaim that day, and keep thy children free, For dark and mild above are like to thee. Grant us thy peace throughout our earthly life, Peace to thy church from heaven and on high, Peace to our land, the fruit of truth and love, Peace in each heart, thy Spirit from above. Thy peace in life, the balm of every pain, Thy peace in death, the hope to rise again. Then when thy voice shall bleed, our conflict cease, Call out, O Lord, to thine eternal peace.
