Verse 1
Lord, dismiss us with thy blessing,
Fill our hearts with joy and peace;
Let us each, thy love possessing,
Triumph in redeeming grace;
Oh! refresh us,
Traveling through this wilderness.
Verse 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.
Verse 3
So, whene’er the signal’s given,
Us from earth to call away,
Borne on angel’s wings to heaven,
Glad the summons to obey,
We shall surely
Reign with Christ in endless day.

May the grace of Christ our Saviour,
And the Father’s boundless love,
With the Holy Spirit’s favor,
Rest upon us from above.

Thus may we abide in union
With each other and the Lord,
And possess, in sweet communion,

Now may He, who from the dead
Brought the Shepherd of the sheep,
Jesus Christ, our King and Head,
All our souls in safety keep.

What is pleasing in His sight;
Perfect us in all His will,
And preserve us day and night.

Who the covenant sealed with blood,
Let our hearts and voices raise
Loud thanksgivings to our God.

Charles Coffin, 1736; tr. James R. Woodford, 1863·Post-Reformation
Verse 1
Lord of the hearts of men,
Thou hast vouchsafed to bless,
From age to age, Thy chosen saints
With fruits of holiness.
Verse 2
Here faith, and hope, and love
Reign in sweet bond allied;
There, when this little day is o’er,
Shall love alone abide.
Verse 3
O love, O truth, O light!
Light never to decay!
O rest from thousand labors past!
O endless Sabbath day!
Verse 4
Here, amid cares and tears,
Bearing the seed we come;
There, with rejoicing hearts, we bring
Our harvest burdens home.
Verse 5
Give, mighty Lord Divine,
The fruits Thyself dost love;
Soon shalt Thou, from Thy judgment-seat,
Crown Thine own gifts above.
