RCCG Hymn 808
With the Sweet Word of Peace
"The Lord of peace Himself give you peace always." - 2 Thess 3:16
With the sweet word of peace, We bid our brethren go; Peace, as a river, to increase And ceaseless flow.
With the calm word of pray'r We earnestly commend Our brethren to Thy watchful care, Eternal Friend!
With the dear word of love, We give our brief farewell, Our love below, and Thine above, With them shall dwell.
With the strong word of faith We stay ourselves on Thee; That Thou, O Lord, in life and death Their help shall be.
Then the bright word of hope Shall on our parting gleam, And tell of joys beyond the scope, Of earth-born dream.
Farewell in hope, and love, In faith, and peace, and prayer, Till He whose home is ours above Unite us there.
