We praise Thee, we bless Thee,
our Father and Friend,
O let our devotions
before Thee ascend;
In youth and in childhood,
together we come,
To pray that Thy will
in our hearts may be done.
We thank Thee for blessings
received every day,
For which Thou hast taught us
unceasing to pray;
But O, for the treasures
Thy Word hath in store,
Thy Name, O our Father,
we bless and adore.
Protect us—defend us
from sin and from harm,
And gather, dear Shepherd,
the lambs with Thy arms.
O nourish and strengthen
our souls now in youth
With mercy and wisdom
and goodness and truth.
