Now our worship sweet is o'er— Singing, praying, teaching, hearing: Let us gladly God adore For His gracious strength and cheering. Blest His name, who fain would save us, For the rich repast He gave us.

Amen.

My God, accept my heart this day And make it always Thine, That I from Thee no more may stray, No more from Thee decline.

Let every thought and work and word To Thee be ever given; Then life shall be Thy service, Lord, And death the gate of heaven. Amen.
95.
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. Amen.
