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 joy and peace;
let us each, thy love possessing,
triumph in redeeming grace:
ever faithful, ever faithful
to thy truth may we be found.

so that when 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.
