1. Great God, Dismiss Us in Thy Love Direct our minds and thoughts above; Though we asunder here must part, In tender love unite each heart. 2. Be with us, Lord, where'er we go; Direct in all we say and do; Keep us from hurtful snares and sin; Watch o'er us till we meet again. 3. Be with us through the time of life; Keep us from envy, hate, and strife; From malice let our lives be free, And know and worship only thee. 4. Be with us that trying hour When life shall cease, and death have pow'r; Safe guide us all to heaven, then We'll praise thee evermore, Amen.
