The time has come for parting
To go diverging paths
Too little time, now done.
God speed you on your journey
Go safely on your way
Wrapped in the love of us- made one…

Merry meet
Merry part
Merry meet again.

Many are the trials
We’ve seen together
Many the struggles and harm
Together back to back
Shoulder to shoulder
We’ve held each other safe and warm

Merry meet
Merry part
Merry meet again.

God speed you on your journey
Go safely on your way
Raise the parting glass of hope
Time goes on too quickly
But time comes ’round again
Sing to circle ’round back home…

Merry meet
Merry part
Merry meet again
