ALLELUIA BE OUR SONG 649
No matter how far we may travel
Over land or sea or air
There is no distance can separate us
From God's loving eternal care
If we were thrown for a loss
Every day for the rest of our life
Thy solace and peace we gladly confess
Would fit us for the struggle and strife
Let no sad songs escape from our lips
No dirges be sung to the throng
Glory be to the Lord of our life
And alleluia, alleluia, be our song
