2. Jesus, pardon all our follies, Since together we have been ; Make us humble, make us holy, Cleanse us all from every sin. Farewell, brethren, farewell, sisters, Till we all shall meet again.

3. May thy blessing, Lord, go with us To each ones respective home; And the presence of our Jesus, Rest upon us every one. Farewell, brethren, farewell, sisters, Till we all shall meet again.
