Text and translations

English text

1. 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.

2. Though we are guilty, thou art good;
Wash all our works in Jesus' blood.
Give every fettered soul release;
And bid us all depart in peace.
