Lord Dismiss Us with Thy Blessing - Traditional

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 joyful sound;
May the fruits of Thy salvation
In our hearts and lives abound;
May Thy presence, may Thy presence
With us evermore be found.

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, may we ever
Reign with Christ in endless day.

Lord Dismiss Us with Thy Blessing lyrics ask for the Lord to fill hearts with joy and peace and to keep the faithful steadfast in His word. The song serves as a spiritual bridge between the sanctuary and the world outside. It is often sung to the tune Sicilian Mariners. By singing these lyrics the congregation asks for the grace to live out the lessons of the service and to find comfort in the promise of God's companionship until they meet again for worship.
