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:
O refresh us,
Travelling 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;
Ever faithful
To the truth may we be found.
Verse 3
So that when Thy love shall call us,
Saviour, from the world away,
Let no fear of death appal us,
Glad Thy summons to obey:
May we ever
Reign with Thee in endless day.
George Watson·Modern
Verse 1
With the sweet word of peace
We bid our brethren go;
Peace, as a river to increase,
And ceaseless flow.

With the calm word of prayer
We earnestly commend
Our brethren to Thy watchful care,
Eternal Friend.
Verse 3
With the dear word of love
We give our brief farewell:
Our love below, and Thine above,
With them shall dwell.
Verse 4
With the strong word of faith
We stay ourselves on Thee,
That Thou, O Lord, in life and death
Their Help shalt be.
Verse 5
Then the bright word of hope
Shall on our parting gleam,
And tell of joys beyond the scope
Of earth-born dream.
Verse 6
Farewell! in hope, and love,
In faith, and peace, and prayer;
Till He whose home is ours above
Unite us there.
George Watson, “With the Sweet Word of Peace”
