[Music]
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.
All that has been amiss forgive,
And let thy truth within us live.
Tho' we are guilty, thou art good,
Wash all our works in Jesus' blood;
Give every fetter'd soul release
And bid us all depart in peace.
Give every fetter'd soul release
And bid us all depart in peace.

Sacred Harp_. Melodic relationship is to be seen between this and 'Ye
Mariners of England'. See Dolph, _Sound Off_, p. 228.
