Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America ‎#191a

191a. 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,
Trav'ling thro' this wilderness. A-men.

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,
To thy truth may we be found.

Amen.
