Common Praise ‎#503b

503b. Lord, dismiss us with thy blessing

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,
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;
may thy presence
with us evermore be found.
