| 1. 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.
2. 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.
3. So that when Thy love shall call us,
Savior, from the world away,
Let no fear of death appall us,
Glad Thy summons to obey.
|:May we ever,
:|
Reign with Thee in endless day.
[So, whene’er the signal’s given
Us from earth to call away,
Borne on angels’ wings to heaven,
Glad the summons to obey,
|:May we ever,
:|
Reign with Christ in endless day.]
