Text: | Lord, dismiss us with Thy blessing |
Author: | John Fawcett |
Tune: | GREENVILLE |
Composer: | Jean J. Rousseau |
1 Lord, dismiss us with Thy blessing--
Fill our hearts with joy and peace;
Let us each, Thy love possessing,
Triumph in redeeming grace;
Oh, refresh us!
Oh, refresh us!
Traveling through this wilderness,
Oh, refresh us! Oh, 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,
May Thy presence,
With us evermore be found.
3 So, whene'er the signal's given,
Us from earth to call away,
Born on angel's wings to heaven,
Glad the summons to obey
May we, ready,
May we, ready,
Rise and reign in endless day!
Amen.
