Lord Behold Us with Thy Blessing

Lord, behold us with thy blessing,

once again assembled here;
onward be our footsteps pressing,
in thy love and faith and fear;
still protect us, x2
by thy presence ever near.
For thy mercy we adore thee,
for this rest upon our way;
Lord, again we bow before thee,
speed our labors day by day;
mind and spirit,x2
with thy choicest gifts array.
Keep the spell of home affection
still alive in every heart;
may its power, with mild direction,
draw our love from self apart,
till thy children,
feel that thou their Father art.
Break temptation's fatal power,
shielding all with guardian care,
safe in every careless hour,
safe from sloth and sensual snare;
thou, our Savior,
still our failing strength repair.

Lord Dismiss Us with Thy Blessing

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, x2
ne'er again thy Spirit grieve.
Bless thou all our days of leisure;
help us selfish lures to flee;
sanctify our every pleasure;
pure and blameless may it be;
may our gladness
draw us evermore to thee.
By thy kindly influence cherish
all the good we have gained;
may all taint of evil perish
by thy mightier power restrained;
seek we ever
knowledge pure and love unfeigned.
Let thy father-hand be shielding
all who here shall meet no more;
may their seed-time past be yielding
year by year a richer store;
those returning,
make more faithful than before.

Lord Behold Us/ Lord Dismiss us
