Text and translations

English text 1. Saviour, again to Thy dear Name we raise  With one accord our parting hymn of praise;  We stand to bless Thee, ere our worship cease,  Then, lowly kneeling, wait Thy word of peace. 2. Grant us Thy peace upon our homeward way;  With Thee began, with Thee shall end the day;  Guard Thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame,  That in Thy house have called upon Thy name.

3. Grant us Thy peace, Lord, through the coming night;  Turn Thou for us its darkness into light;  From harm and danger keep Thy children free,  For dark and light are both alike to Thee. 4. Grant us Thy peace throughout our earthly life;  Our balm in sorrow, and our stay in strife;  Then, when Thy voice shall bid our conflict cease,  Call us, O Lord, to Thine eternal peace.
