  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, O refresh us,
    Trav'ling thro' this wilderness.
    Ever faithful, Ever faithful
    To the truth may we be found.
  2. Thanks we give and adoration
    For thy Gospel's joyful sound;
    May the fruits of thy salvation
    In out hearts and lives abound;
    O refresh us, &c.
