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,
Traveling through this wilderness.
2 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.
3 Then, whene'er the signal's given
Us from earth to call away,
Borne on angels' wings to heaven,--
Glad the summons to obey,--
May we ever
Reign with Christ to endless day.
