The time has come, O Lord, for us to leave this place; Guide us and protect us and lead us in thy grace, Wherever life may take us as we go our sep’rate ways, Help us share with others the things we’ve shared today.
May the peace of God the Father, and the love of Christ, his Son, Guide us in the days ahead and strengthen us, each one. May the blessings of the Spirit fill us from within; God bless us and return us to this fellowship once again. Amen.
Soli Deo Gloria 5
