Now Receive God's Blessing!

Now Receive God’s Blessing!
A Benediction Hymn for St. Martin-in-the-Fields, London

Text: John A. Dalles
Tune: ST. MARTIN
Meter: SM

Now receive God’s blessing,
And Christ’s love unceasing,
May the Spirit’s presence
Light your way with reverence!

Joys, your life to lengthen,
Trials, your life to strengthen,
Woes to keep you caring,
Hope to make you daring!

Friends to be your neighbors,
Means to meet your labors,
Zeal to point you forward,
Faith to lead you onward!


(Repeat first stanza as the final stanza)
