Chalice Hymnal ‎#439

439. God, Dismiss Us with Your Blessing

1 God, dismiss us with your blessing;
fill our hearts with joy and peace;
let us each, your love possessing,
triumph in redeeming grace;
O refresh us, O refresh us
traveling through this wilderness.

2 Thanks we give and adoration
for your gospel’s joyous sound.
May the fruits of your salvation
in our hearts and lives abound;
ever faithful, ever faithful,
to your truth may we be found.
