Sent forth by God’s blessing,
Our
true faith confessing,
The
people of God from His dwelling take leave.
The
supper is ended.
Oh,
now be extended
The
fruits of this service in all who believe.
The
seed of His teaching,
Receptive
souls reaching,
Shall
blossom in action for God and for all.
His
grace did invite us,
His
love shall unite us
To
work for God’s kingdom and answer His call.
2
With
praise and thanks giving
To
God ever living,
The
task of our everyday life we will face.
Our
faith ever sharing,
In
love ever caring,
Embracing
His children of each tribe and race.
With
Your feast feed us,
With
Your light now lead us;
Unite
us as one in this life that we share.
Then
may all the living
With
praise and thanksgiving.
Give
honor to Christ His name that we bear.
