Lord Dismiss Us With Thy Blessing

Lord, Dismiss Us With Thy Blessing,
Thanks For Mercies Past Receive;
Pardon All, Their Faults Confessing;
Time That’s Lost May All Retrieve;
May Thy Children
Never Again Thy Spirit Grieve.

Bless Thou All Our Days Of Leisure;
Help Us Selfish Lures To Flee;
Sanctify Our Every Pleasure;
Pure And Blameless May It Be;
May Our Gladness
Draw Us Evermore To Thee.

By Thy Kindly Influence Cherish
All The Good We Here Have Gained;
May All Taint Of Evil Perish
By Thy Mightier Power Restrained;
Seek We Ever
Knowledge Pure And Love Unfeigned.

Let Thy Father-Hand Be Shielding
All Who Here Shall Meet No More;
May Their Seed-Time Past Be Yielding
Year By Year A Richer Store;
Those Returning,
Make More Faithful Than Before.
