Hymns for a Pilgrim People ‎#579

579. 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:
Oh, refresh us, Oh, refresh us,
Trav'ling 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 Thy truth may we be found.

3 So that then Thy love shall call us,
Savior, from the world away,
Fear of death shall not appall us,
Glad Thy summons to obey:
May we ever, may we ever
Reign with Thee in endless day.

Amen.
