[Dismiss us with thy blessing, Lord]

[_]

The following poem is scored for music in the source text.

Dismiss us with thy blessing, Lord,
Help us to feed upon thy word;
All that has been amiss forgive,
And let thy truth within us live.
Though we are guilty, thou art good,
Wash all our works in Jesus' blood:
Give every fetter'd soul release,
And bid us all depart in peace.
Give every fetter'd soul release,
And bid us all depart in peace.
