with grateful hearts, we raise our parting chorus,
For well we know, where'er we go,
Our Father's care is o'er us.

Good by! good by!
Bright moments fly, But leave a gift in passing by;
God bless us all, God bless us all,
Good by, good by.

In varied paths, His loving hand may guide us,
But good or ill, 'tis blessing still,
When Jesus walks beside us. [Chorus]

For coming days his grace is our best treasure,
The joys that last when time is past,
Be ours, in boundless measure. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Good by! good by!]
