143. Lord Dismiss Us

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!

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.

While our days on earth are lengthened,
May we give them, Lord, to Thee;
Cheered by hope, and daily strengthened,
May we run, nor weary be,
Till Thy glory, till Thy glory,
Without clouds in heaven we see.
