lyrics
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, O refresh us
Trav'ling through this wilderness
Thanks we give and adoration
For the gospel's joyful sound:
May the fruits of Thy salvation
In our hearts and lives abound:
Ever faithful, ever faithful
To the truth may we be found
Of Thy love some gracious token
Grant us, Lord, before we go;
Bless Thy word which has been spoken
Life and peace on all bestow.
O direct us and protect us
In the paths we do not know
Oh oh oh, this record shocked me- I was not prepared for how deeply this would seep into my heart. It’s a wave/heartbeat/dog running through shallow water/light coming through green leaves. Thank you thank you thank you Riki
