Part in peace: is day before us? <br />Praise His Name for life and light; <br />Are the shadows lengthening o’er us? <br />Bless His care Who guards the night. <br /> <br />Part in peace: with deep thanksgiving, <br />Rendering, as we homeward tread, <br />Gracious service to the living, <br />Tranquil memory to the dead. <br /> <br />Part in peace: such are the praises <br />God our Maker loveth best; <br />Such the worship that upraises <br />Human hearts to heavenly rest.<br /><br />Sarah Flower Adams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/part-in-peace-is-day-before-us/
