1. We’ll now depart, ye faithful friends;
And from this place we’ll go;
The Lord, in whom our spirits blend,
Will lead us on the road.
2. The Lord our welfare always seeks;
He grants His word and grace;
He comforts him who sighs and weeps,
Consoles at ev’ry place.
3. Let’s now depart in tranquil joy,
And to God’s word hold fast.
Should Satan come us to annoy,
Our prayers will drive him back.
4. Oh, watch ye faithful brothers mine,
While in this pilgrim’s dale;
The mighty Word of God divine,
Your compass, will not fail.
5. Ye sisters all, stay on the way
In service for the Lord,
In watchful striving, fervent prayer,
You’ll find a rich reward.
6. May we be cheerful now and blest,
And sojourn side by side;
Our path leads to eternal rest,
To heaven’s paradise.
And from this place we’ll go;
The Lord, in whom our spirits blend,
Will lead us on the road.
2. The Lord our welfare always seeks;
He grants His word and grace;
He comforts him who sighs and weeps,
Consoles at ev’ry place.
3. Let’s now depart in tranquil joy,
And to God’s word hold fast.
Should Satan come us to annoy,
Our prayers will drive him back.
4. Oh, watch ye faithful brothers mine,
While in this pilgrim’s dale;
The mighty Word of God divine,
Your compass, will not fail.
5. Ye sisters all, stay on the way
In service for the Lord,
In watchful striving, fervent prayer,
You’ll find a rich reward.
6. May we be cheerful now and blest,
And sojourn side by side;
Our path leads to eternal rest,
To heaven’s paradise.
