2 Corinthians 13:14; The Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ

2 Corinthians 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. The second epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi, a city of Macedonia, by Titus and Lucas.

This is the pronouncement of the blessing of God upon the congregation of God’s people with a prayer for God’s guidance in the days ahead. It is the invoking of the Triune God to make a good way for His people as they are committed to the Lord’s perpetual care.

Lord Dismiss Us

Lord dismiss us with Thy blessing, May Thy peace our ways attend!
Send us forth to do Thy bidding, Leading men to Christ our Friend.
May we never, may we never, Stray from Thy almighty hand!

Be Our Guide in days of travelling, Keep our feet from harm and sin;
Sanctify our thoughts and living, Cleanse our hearts, make pure within.
May our witness, may our witness, Draw all men to Thee our King!

May Thy blessed Holy Spirit, Lead us in Thy ways of truth;
May we rest in Jesus’ merit, Daily all His mercies prove.
May our footsteps, may our footsteps, Never from Thy paths remove!

O revive us, O revive us! Daily fill our hearts with fire;
Holy Spirit come dwell in us, Cleanse, O cleanse from filth and mire.
O renew us, O renew us, Ever more our hearts inspire!

Amen.
