1. Lord, dismiss us with thy blessing; Thanks for mercies past receive; Pardon all, their 'r faults confessing; Time that's lost may all retrieve: May thy children, May thy children Ne'er again thy Spirit grieve.

2. Bless thou all our days of leisure, Help us selfish lures to flee; Sanctify out every pleasure; Pure and blameless may it be; May our gladness, May our gladness Draw us evermore to thee.

3. 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, Those returning Make more faithful than before.
