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, :|
Traveling through this wilderness.
Let us run with perseverance
The race set out before us;
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus,
The Author and Perfecter of our faith.
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, :|
With us evermore be found.
Let us run with perseverance
The race set out before us;
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus,
The Author and Perfecter of our faith.
So that when Thy love shall call us,
Savior, from the world away,
Let no fear of death appall us,
Glad Thy summons to obey.
|:May we ever, :|
Reign with Thee in endless day.
Let us run with perseverance
The race set out before us;
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus,
The Author and Perfecter of our faith.
---Alternative verses---
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 thy truth may we be found.
Let us run with perseverance
The race set out before us;
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus,
The Author and Perfecter of our faith.
[So, whene’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.]
Let us run with perseverance
The race set out before us;
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus,
The Author and Perfecter of our faith.
