"Lord, Dismiss Us With Thy Blessing" J. Fawcett, 1773. Text from: EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN HYMN-BOOK (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1912), pp. 11-12 17 8, 7 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, :| Trav'lling thro' 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, ready, :| Rise and reign in endless day. ______________________________________________________________ This text was converted to text format for Project Wittenberg by Christopher M.
