Lord, dismiss us with thy blessing; Fill our hearts with joy and peace; Let us each, thy love possessing, Triumph in redeeming grace: O refresh us, Traveling through this wilderness. | Thanks we give and adoration For thy Gospel's joyful sound: May the fruits of thy salvation In our hearts and lives abound: May thy presence With us evermore be found; | So that when thy love shall call us, Savior, from the world away, Fear of death shall not appall us, Glad thy summons to obey. May we ever Reign with thee in endless day. | |
