Sent 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.
The seed of His teaching
Receptive souls reaching
Shall blossom in action for God and for all.
His grace did invite us
His love shall unite us
To work for God s kingdom and answer His call.

With praise and thanksgiving
To God ever-living
The tasks of our everyday life we will face.
Our faith ever sharing
In love ever caring
Embracing His children of each tribe and race.
With Your feast You feed us
With Your light now lead us;
Unite us as one in this life that we share.
Then may all the living
With praise and thanksgiving
Give honor to Christ and His name that we bear.
