O Lord, another day is flown,
And we, a grateful band,
Are met once more before thy throne,
To bless thy fostering hand.
And wilt thou bend a listening ear
To these cold thanks we raise?
Thou wilt; for thou dost love to hear
Though we but lisp thy praise.
And, Saviour, thou thy smile wilt deign
As we before thee pray;
For thou didst bless the infant train,
And we are weak as they.
Thy light and grace to all impart,
Bid sin and sorrow cease;
And shed abroad in every heart,
Thine everlasting peace.
In mercy guide our wandering feet,
And bless our dangerous way,
Till worlds shall fade, and faith shall greet,
The dawn of lasting day.
*** alt vers
O Lord, another day is flown,
And we, a lonely band.
Are met once more before thy throne,
To bless thy fost'ring hand.
And wilt thou bend a listening ear
To praises low as ours?
Thou wilt! for thou dost love to hear
The song which meekness pours.
And, Jesus, thou thy smiles wilt deign.
As we before thee pray;
For thou didst bless the infant train,
And we are less than they.
Oh, let thy grace perform its part,
And let contention cease;
And shed abroad in ev'ry heart
Thine everlasting peace.
