Chil.
Come, let our voices join
To sing a song of praise:
For favours so divine,
Our grateful notes we'll raise:
Cong.
To God alone the praise belongs,
His love demands your noblest songs.
Chil.
When wand'ring far astray,
In paths of vice and sin,
You kindly pointed out
The danger we were in:
Cong.
To God alone be all the praise,
Who turns your feet from sinful ways.
Chil.
Now we are taught to read
The book of life divine;
Where our Redeemer's love,
And brightest glories shine:
Cong.
To God alone the praise is due,
Whose sacred book is sent to to you.
Chil.
Within this sacred house
Our youthful feet are brought,
Where prayer and praise abound,
And heavenly truths are taught:
Cong.
To God alone your praises bring,
And in the church his glories sing.
Chil.
For favours such as these.
Our grateful thanks receive:
Lord, here accept our hearts,
'Tis all that we can give:
Cong.
Great God, accept their infant songs,
To thee alone the praise belongs.
Chorus.
Lord, let this glorious work
Be own'd with large success!
May thousands yet unborn,
This institution bless!
Then shall thy praise be sounded high,
Throughout a vast eternity.
