A Parting Prayer

May your days be filled with joy,

and your life, blessed and long.

May Christ flood your heart,

with precious peace, O tender song.

Thus when troubles rise,

and they surely will indeed,

remember your Savior,

and to His voice, ever heed.

And when life’s o’er, it’s only just begun,

for then we’ll meet again, in the warmth of the Son.

Nestled on Heaven’s shore, forever we’ll be,

for pain will be no more, just the love in you and me.

‘Til then stand strong and true, my dear, blessed friend,

and don’t fret, I’m still with you, just around the bend.

Amen
