Verse 1

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.

Verse 2

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.

Verse 3

Let thy Father-hand be shielding All who here shall meet no more; May their seed-time past by yielding. Year by year a richer store; Those returning. Make more faithful than before.
