Cl107

As we part from here today,

Spirits, hearts restored, renewed,

Each now goes their separate way:

Walk in peace and fortitude.

Cl207

Carry the words of this day in your heart,

Carry the flame of our passion,

Give them to those you will meet and impart

Lessons of love and compassion.

Cl307

The world awaits us and our goals:

Compassion, equity and peace,

Remember justice in your souls,

Exhibit conscience in your deeds.

Cl407

The words of prophetic women and men,

The deeds for which they have been known,

Are waiting for us to claim as our own

Their truths, and their work to begin.

Cl507

Until we are gathered again, side by side,

May love walk with you every day,

Compassion companion you all through each night,

And peace be your life's only way.

Cl607

The interdependent web of life

Connects us as we now depart;

Woven with love and lacing each heart,

Unceasingly tensile and bright.

Cl707

Go now, and serve the world,

Show love through all you do.

Return to us again

Once more, and love anew.

Cl807

Joy has met us here today,

Love was in our midst;

Now it's time to lead the way:

Show the world what can be done

When we work for peace as one.

Cl907

Farewell, beloved company

Until once more again we see

Your faces, hear your news,

Be safe, our dear UUs.

Cl1007

As our time together ends

And we start the week anew,

May the good we seek to do

Bind each heart to serve our friends,

Those unknown or old and dear,

All are welcomed by us here.
