Dismission

This hymn, often sung at the close of a service, asks for God's blessing as the congregation departs. The text encourages reflection on God's love and the peace found in faith, while also expressing gratitude for the gospel. The singers are urged to let the fruits of salvation flourish in their lives, remaining faithful to divine truth. The final stanza looks forward to the end of earthly life, envisioning a joyful ascent to heaven and eternal reign with Christ. This SATB setting of the English text is ideal for occasions requiring a spirit of reverence and hopeful anticipation.
