HYMN LII. BEFORE SCHOOL.
Father, to Thee our souls we raise,
And for a blessing look;
Prevent, and help us by Thy grace
In learning of our book.
And for a blessing look;
Prevent, and help us by Thy grace
In learning of our book.
Give us an humble, active mind,
From sloth and folly free;
Give us a cheerful heart, inclined
To truth and piety.
From sloth and folly free;
Give us a cheerful heart, inclined
To truth and piety.
A faithful memory bestow;
With solid learning store;
And still, O Lord, as more we know,
Let us obey Thee more.
With solid learning store;
And still, O Lord, as more we know,
Let us obey Thee more.
Let us things excellent discern,
Hold fast what we approve;
And, above all, delight to learn
The lessons of Thy love.
Hold fast what we approve;
And, above all, delight to learn
The lessons of Thy love.
