LORD

ORD dismiss us with thy blessing!
Bid us now depart in peace;
Still on heavenly manna feeding,
Let our faith and love increase:
Fill each breast with consolation;
Up to thee our hearts we raise :
When we reach yon blissful station,
Then we'll give thee nobler praise!
Hallelujah!

ORD, 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,

Travelling 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;
May thy presence

With us evermore be found.

3 So, whene'er the signal 's given
Us from earth to call away,
Borne on angels' wings to heaven,
Glad the summons to obey,
May we ever

Reign with Christ in endless day.

The ravens that call On thee for their food; Them ready to perish Thou lov'st to sustain, And wilt thou not cherish The children of men?

Whose goodness shall send Us bread from the sky;

On earth thou shalt give us A taste of thy love, And shortly receive us To banquet above.

And by thy sacred presence crown

Come at thy creatures' call,
And give our inmost souls to feel
That thou art all in all!

And do with faith whate'er we do,
To glorify our God.

And taught by Jesus own

That every grace, and every gift
Descends from thee alone.

God the giver of all grace,
God, whose mercies are bestowed
On the evil and the good.

Kind and merciful to all;

Makes his sun on sinners rise,
Showers his blessings from the skies.

Through a world of dangers led.
