Lyrics 1. God bless the hears before him here, And bless this hour so sweet; God bless and hold us each most dear Until again we meet. Chorus: As now we part God bless each heart, His grace your ev'ry need supply; In all we do, God keep us strong and true, Dear friends, good-bye, good-bye. 2. While seasons swiftly come and go, And rears and smiles abound; God help us all in grace to grow, With love encompass'd round. 3. God bless to us his precious WOrd, And make its meaning clear; And let each heart anew be stirr'd To worship in his fear. 4. Now voice with voice, and soul with soul, We pray to meet again, While loud and long the echoes roll, And sound the great amen.
