Hymn

ENGLISH LYRICS: Lord, dismiss us with Thy blessing

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 1 Thess. 5:28
1. Lord, dismiss us with Thy blessing,
   Fill our hearts with joy and peace;
   Let us each, Thy love possessing,
   Triumph in redeeming grace;
   Oh refresh us, oh refresh us,
   Traveling through this wilderness.

2. 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, may Thy presence
   With us evermore be found.

3. 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, may we ever
   Reign with Christ in endless day.

Amen.

Ki ore-ofe Oluwa wa Jesu Kristi ki o wa pelu nyin. I Tes. 5:28.
1. Fi ibukun Re tu wa ka,
   Fi ayo kun okan wa;
   K’olukuluku mo ‘fe Re
   K’a l’ayo n’nu ore Re;
   Tu wa lara tu wa l’ara
   La aginju aye ja.

2. Ope at’ iyin l’a nfun O
   Fun ihinrere ayo;
   Je ki eso igbala Re,
   Po l’okan at’iwa wa;
   Ki oju Re, ki oju Re
   Ma ba wa gbe titi lo

3. Nje n’igbat’ a ba si pe wa
   Lati f’aye yi sile
   K’Angeli gbe wa lo s’orun,
   L’ayo ni k’a j’ ipe na;
   K’a si joba, k’a si joba
   Pelu Kristi titi lae.
Amin.
