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!

Trav'ling through this wilderness.



Thanks we give and adoration,

For the gospels' joyful sound,

May the fruits of thy salvation

In our hearts and lives abound;

May thy presence

With us evermore be found.



So whene'er the signal's given

Us from earth to call away,

Borne on angel's wings to heav'n

Glad the summons to obey;

May we ready

Rise and reign in endless day!
