Sent Forth by God’s Blessing Lyrics

1. Sent forth by God’s blessing, our true faith confessing,

The people of God from his dwelling take leave

God’s sacrifice ended, O now be extended,

The fruit of this mass in all hearts who believe,

The seed of his teaching, our inner soul’s reading,

Shall blossom in action for God and for man.

His grace shall incite us, His love shall unite us,

To further his kingdom by God’s holy plan.

2. With praise and thanksgiving, to God who is living,

The tasks of our ev’ry day life we embrace,

Our faith ever sharing, in love ever caring,

We claim as our brothers all men of each race,

One bread that has fed us, one light that has led us,

Unite us as one in His life that we share,

Then may all the Living, with praise and thanksgiving,

Give honour to Christ and his name that we bear.
