Thou God of Jabez, hear,
While we entreat thy grace,
And borrow that expressive pray'r,
With which he sought thy face.
“O that the Lord indeed
Would me his servant bless,
From ev’ry evil shield my head,
And crown my paths with peace!
“Be his almighty hand
My helper and my guide,
Till, with his saints in Canaan’s land,
My portion be divide.”
Thus pious Jabez pray’d,
While God inclin’d his ear;
And all by whom this suit is made,
Shall find the blessing near.
Ye youths your vows combine,
With loud united voice;
So shall your heads with honor shine,
And all your hearts rejoice.
