Cong.
Great God, accept our songs of praise,
Which we would to thy honour raise;
Bless our attempts to spread abroad
The knowledge of our Saviour God.
Chil.
Next to our God, our thanks are due
To those who did compassion shew,
In kindly pointing out the road,
That leads to Christ, the way to God.
Cong.
We claim no merit of our own;
Great God, the work is thine alone!
Thou didst at first our hearts incline,
To carry on this great design.
Chil.
Now we are taught to read and pray,
To hear God's word, to keep his day;
Lord, here accept the the thanks we bring-
Our infant tongues thy praise would sing.
Cong.
With those dear children, we'll unite;
Their songs inspire us with delight;
Lord, while on earth we sing thy love,
May angels join the notes above.
Chil.
Great God, our benefactors bless,
Cong.
And crown thy work with great success
Both.
O may we meet around thy throne,
To sing thy praise in strains unknown.
Glory, honor, praise, and power, etc. Hal.
