The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church ‎#33

33. Lord, Dismiss Us with Thy Blessing

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, 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;
Ever faithful, Ever faithful
To the truth may we 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, May we ever
Reign with Thee in endless day.

Amen.
