“Lord, dismiss us with Thy blessing,
Thanks for mercies past received.
Pardon all, their faults confessing; Time that’s lost may all retrieve.
May Thy children, may Thy children ne’er again Thy Spirit grieve.”
A solo piano arrangement by Alex Thio of the beloved dismissal hymn Lord, Dismiss Us With Thy Blessing, with text by Rev. Henry J. Buckoll and melody by William Viner (DISMISSAL). Joyful and reverent in equal measure, this arrangement is well suited to the advanced intermediate pianist and makes a naturally elegant postlude as the congregation departs in worship.
An original melody frames the piece with a touch of distinction — introducing the hymn with warmth and returning at the close with quiet elegance. The first verse is presented with full, traditional harmonies, while a flowing accompaniment pattern and gentle reharmonizations carry the second verse forward with fresh expression. A well-placed modulation lifts the final verse to a majestic arrival, bringing the arrangement to a broad and satisfying close.
What's included: — Fully notated piano score (5 pages, PDF instant download) — Suitable for advanced intermediate pianists — Ideal for postlude
