Indulgent God, to thee we pray;
Be with us on this solemn day:
Our brethren bless, their zeal approve,
That zeal which burns to spread thy love.
With cheerful steps may they proceed,
Where'er thy providence shall lead:
Let heav'n and earth their work befriend.
And mercy all their paths attend.
Let num'rous solemn crowds be found.
Anxious to hear the gospel sound;
And rude barbarians, bond and free,
In suppliant throngs, resort to thee.
Where pagan altars now are built,
And brutal blood, or human, spilt,
There may the bleeding cross be rear'd.
And God, our God, alone rever'd.
