Part In Peace: Is Day Before Us?

“Depart in peace.” James 2:16

Part in peace: is day before us?

Praise His name for life and light;

Are the shadows lengthening o’er us?

Bless His care who guards the night.

Part in peace: with deep thanksgiving,

Rendering, as we homeward tread,

Gracious service to the living,

Tranquil memory to the dead.

Part in peace: such are the praises

God our Maker loveth best;

Such the worship that upraises

Human hearts to heavenly rest.
