Henry James Buckoll. (1803-1871).
Lord, dismiss us with thy blessing,
Thanks for mercies past receive;
Pardon all, their faults confessing
Time that 's lost may all retrieve;
May thy children
Ne'er again thy Spirit grieve.

Pardon all, their faults confessing
Time that 's lost may all retrieve;
May thy children
Ne'er again thy Spirit grieve.
Bless thou all our days of leisure
Help us selfish lures to flee;
Sanctify our every pleasure,
Pure and blameless let it be;
May our gladness
Draw us evermore to thee.

Pure and blameless let it be;

By thy kindly influence cherish
All the good we here have gained;
May all taint of evil perish
By thy mightier power restrained;
Seek we ever
Knowledge pure and love unfeigned.

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,
Make more faithful than before.
