257. Dismiss us with Thy blessing, Lord

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;
Cleanse us from sin through Jesus' blood;
Give every fettered soul release,
And bid us all depart in peace.
