Children.
Come let our voices join,
In one glad song of praise:
To God, the God of love.
Our grateful hearts we raise:
.
Congregation.
To God alone your praise belongs;
His love demands your earliest songs.
Children.
Now we are taught to read
The book of life divine;
Where our Redeemer's love,
And brightest glories shine:
.
Congregation.
To God alone the praise is due.
Who sends his word to us and you.
Children.
Within these hallowed walls,
Our wand'ring feet are brought,
Where pray'r and praise ascend.
And heavenly truths are taught:
.
Congregation.
To God alone your of'rrings bring;
Here in his church his praises sing.
Children.
For blessings such as these,
Our gratitude receive;
Lord, here accept our hearts,
'Tis all that we can give:
.
Congregation.
Great God, accept tneir infant songs;
To thee alone their praise belongs.
Both.
Lord, bid this work of love
Be crowned with meet sucess;
May thousands yet unborn,
This institution bless:
Thus shall the praise resound to thee,
Now, and through all eternity.
