Lord, dismiss us with thy blessing,
βThanks for mercies past receive;
Pardon all, their faults confessing
βTime that 's lost may all retrieve;
βββMay thy children
βNe'er again thy Spirit grieve.

Bless thou all our days of leisure
βHelp us selfish lures to flee;
Sanctify our every pleasure,
ββPure and blameless let it be;
βββMay our gladness
βDraw us evermore to thee.

Let thy father hand be shielding
βAll who here shall meet no more;
May their seed-time past be yielding
βYear by year a richer store;
βββThose returning,
βMake more faithful than before.
