A Parting Hymn

1 Lord dismiss us with thy blessing,
Send it to us from above;
May we go home a praising,
And rejoicing in thy love;
Farewell brethren, farewell sisters,
'Till we all shall meet above.

2 Pardon Lord now all our follies,
While together we have been;
Make us humble make us holy,
Cleanse us all from ev'ry sin,
Farewell brethren, farewell sisters,
'Till we all shall meet again.

3 May thy presence, Lord go with us,
To each one's respective home;
And the presence of our Jesus,
Rest upon us ev'ry one;
Farewell brethren farewell sisters
'Till we all shall meet at home.
