Author: John Fawcett (1740-1817); Godfrey Thring (1823-1903) Hymnal: The Hymnbook #79 (1955) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 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,
Traveling through this wilderness.
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, Ever faithful
To the truth may we be found;
3 So that when Thy love shall call us,
Saviour, from the world away,
Let no fear of death appall us,
Glad Thy summons to obey:
May we ever, May we ever
Reign with Thee in endless day.
Amen. Topics: Aspiration; Benediction; Bible, The; Closing of Worship; Courage; Hope; Worship Closing of Worship Scripture: Luke 2:29 Tune Title: SICILIAN MARINERS
