Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book ‎#11

11. Now our worship sweet is o'er

1 NOW our worship sweet is o'er--
Singing, praying, teaching, hearing,
Let us gladly God adore
For His gracious strength and cheering.
Praise our God, who fain would save us,
For the rich repast He gave us.

2 Now the Blessing cheers our heart,
And the service all is ended,
Let us joyfully depart,--
Be our souls to God commended.
May His Spirit ever guide us,
And with all things well provide us.

3 Let our going out be blest,
Bless our entrance in like measure;
Bless, O Lord, our toil and rest,
Bless our bread, our grief and pleasure,
Be in death Thy blessing given,
And make us blest heirs of heaven.
