Peace I Leave

I am looking for the old 'folk group' song, Peace I leave. Who wrote it? The lyrics are something like this:

Peace I leave with you my friend
Shalom my peace in all you do
Peace I leave with you my friend
I give to you so you can give to others too.

Verse
(don't it all...something like this)
The father's love I give to you
The spirit of our love I give
Go now my friend I and go in peace
Until I come again

Is this the one you're looking for? I think it was written by Carey Landry.

PEACE I LEAVE WITH YOU, MY FRIENDS:
SHALOM MY PEACE, IN ALL YOU DO.
PEACE I LEAVE WITH YOU, MY FRIENDS,
I GIVE TO YOU, SO YOU CAN GIVE TO OTHERS, TOO.

TO SHARE GOD'S LOVE IS WHY I CAME
TO SHOW GOD'S KINDNESS TO THE WORLD
GO NOW MY FRIENDS AND DO THE SAME,
UNTIL I COME AGAIN...

TAKE MY HAND AND BE AT PEACE,
THE SPIRIT OF OUR LOVE I SEND;
AND WITH THIS LOVE YOU WILL BE FREE,
UNTIL I COME AGAIN...

WITH THIS LOVE YOU ALL WILL KNOW,
THAT LONELINESS IS AT AN END,
REJOICE MY PEOPLE THOUGH I GO
FOR I WILL COME AGAIN...

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been looking for this song for years and no one seemed to know it!
We sang it at the Newman Center at Northern Illinois University in the 1970s and I have always loved it. It was sung at my wedding years ago.

God bless you!
