Lyics

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!

Travelling thro 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:

Many thy presence 

With us evermore be found!



So, when e'er the signal's given,

Us from earth to call away:

Borne on angel's wings to heaven,

Glad to leave our cumbrous clay

Make us ready,

To reign with thee in endless day.
