LyicsLord, dismiss us with thy blessing,
Fill our hearts with joy and peace;
Let us each, thy love possessing,
Triumph in re-deeming grace;
Oh, refresh us,
Oh, refresh us,
Trav'ling thro' this wilder-ness.
Thanks we give, and adoration,
For the 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, when'er the signal's given
Us from earth to call away,
Borne on angel's wings to heaven,
Glad the summons to obey,
May we, ready,
Rise and reign in endless day.
