These gentle mates of ours are breezing to another port
That respite place of peace and strength,
We give you our support.
This sabbatical of time and space will refresh you in the way.
We are pleased to pray you forth in love on this great Lord’s day.
As you go to Aussie land, we’ll feel so torn asunder;
you’ll be there, yet in our hearts, so safely tucked “Down Under”.
