Lord, dismiss us with Thy blessing, Fill our hearts with joy and peace

John Fawcett (1786) • English

Thanks we give and adoration for the gospel's joyful sound: may the fruits of your salvation in our hearts and lives abound! Ever faithful, ever faithful to your truth may we be found.

So whene'er the signal's given us from earth to call away, borne on angels' wings to heaven, glad the summons to obey, may we ever, may we ever reign with Christ in endless day.
