Suppl. to Shawbury Hymns, 1773
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
In this dry and barren place.
2. Thanks we give and adoration
For thy gospel's joyful sound:
May the fruits of thy salvation
In our hearts and lives abound!
Ever faithful
To the truth may we be found!
3. So when-e'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
Reign with Christ in endless day.
(Quoted in Julian 1907)

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,
Traveling through this wilderness.
2. Thanks we give, and adoration,
For thy gospel's joyful sound;
May the fruits of thy salvation
In our hearts and lives abound;
May thy presence, may thy presence
With us evermore be found.
3. So, when-e'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.
