1Sent 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.
2With praise and thanksgiving
To God ever-living,
Our faith ever sharing,
In love ever caring,
Embracing His children
Of each tribe and race.
